As a test project, a new ticket that fully offsets CO2 emissions is offered to travellers departing from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway.

August 2 in Brussels – Beginning in August, Brussels Airlines will offer a Green Fare for travellers departing from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway that fully offsets CO2 emissions using sustainable fuel and invests in climate protection initiatives. The offer is made now because more travellers are willing than ever to cancel their flight. Customers have used CO2-neutral flight options more than six times since they were added to the brussels airlines booking process. Moreover you can check brussels airlines flight status online.

Beginning on August 2, 2022, Brussels Airlines and the other Lufthansa Group airlines will provide a new Green Fare for their customers making reservations from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. The Green Fare fully offsets the flight’s CO2 emissions as part of its commitment to a sustainable approach to air travel. In order to do this, a mix of 20% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and 80% financial investments in long-term climate protection initiatives is used. The Green fare also offers free rebooking choices and more status miles as incentives.

In the online booking screen immediately following the flight selection, the Green Fare is now shown as a new fare choice alongside the familiar fares (Light, Classic, and Flex). For flights inside Europe, the new deal is accessible in both Business Class and Economy Class. B2B travel partners in Scandinavia will also be able to benefit from this new option beginning in September. About six months will pass during the testing period.

Growing popularity of sustainable options

By including the options for CO2-neutral flying directly into the flight booking, Brussels Airlines improved its sustainable offer at the end of May, making it easier for consumers to purchase sustainable fuel, participate in climate initiatives administered by myclimate, or choose a mix of both.

The utilisation of the offers for CO2-neutral flying has significantly expanded since their debut. The use rates of these reservations made through brusselsairlines.co have increased sixfold from their previous level of less than one percent.

The Lufthansa Group and Brussels Airlines have set themselves high climate goals and aim to become carbon neutral by 2050. Innovative offers like the new Green Fares are a significant step in that direction, along with fleet modernization and more environmentally friendly business practises. The customer’s propensity to invest in sustainable flying has already increased dramatically as a result of the inclusion of sustainable options in the booking process, which encourages us to make additional investments in sustainable offers.

Brussels Airlines CEO Peter Gerber

Brussels Airlines is collaborating with the Lufthansa Group to continuously apply a variety of cutting-edge strategies in an effort to meet its lofty targets of flying CO2-neutral by 2050 and halving net carbon emissions by 2030 compared to 2019. In order to do this, the business is primarily depending on expedited fleet modernisation, ongoing flight operations optimization, the use of sustainable aviation fuels, and creative offerings to make a flight CO2-neutral.
