By making a climate contribution, you are joining us in supporting three projects by our partner myclimate as well as the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). You have the option of selecting a package tailored to your needs and personal use. You can choose from eight different climate packages.
Responsibility is an essential part of Condor Company culture. We are aware that long-term business success requires considering the environmental impact of our actions – both at our company headquarters in Germany and in the numerous destinations we fly to. By making a climate contribution, you are joining us in supporting the following three projects by our partner myclimate as well as the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) beyond the statutory quota on future flights. You have the option of selecting a package tailored to your needs and personal use. You can choose from eight different climate packages.
You can make your climate contribution for every Condor or Marabu flight. This contribution will be used proportionately to support the three climate projects by our renowned partner myclimate as well as for increasing our future use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) on Condor flights.
Eight different climate packages are available to you. Either add one of the climate contribution packages directly during your flight booking or afterwards via My trip.
The following section explains the proportions of the climate contribution in the respective packages that are allocated to three selected climate protection projects and the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF):
Sustainable Aviation Fuel – SAF for short – is an umbrella term for sustainable aviation fuels. They can reduce lifecycle CO₂ emissions by up to 80 percent compared to fossil kerosene (Source: SAF: Aviation Fuel | Moeve).
SAF is produced from waste such as used cooking oil, plant residues or biomass without the use of fossil raw materials such as petroleum – materials that do not compete with food production. In addition to SAF from residual materials, electricity-based Power-to-Liquid fuels are also in development, also referred to as PtL or eSAF. For use in aviation, SAF is blended with conventional kerosene. One of the advantages of SAF as a "drop-in fuel" is that the existing infrastructure can be used without any issues.

Alternative fuels are an important building block for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in aviation while using the existing aircraft fleet and infrastructure. As part of the Choice Fares, Condor purchases SAF and uplifts it on future Condor flights. These are SAF quantities beyond the legal requirements.
Moreover, according to the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) can help reduce contrails and climate impacts in aviation. This is because SAF contains fewer aromatic compounds than kerosene, resulting in fewer soot particles. This reduces, for example, the formation of ice crystals and thus the formation of cirrus clouds, which contribute to global warming.
