Introduction of the Condor climate contribution
Our customers can support investments in climate protection projects and SAF by purchasing a climate package. You have the option of selecting a package tailored to your needs and personal use. You can choose from eight different climate packages.
Involvement in the German Government's SAF working group
Condor has been a member of the German government's SAF working group since 2024. The working group aims to promote exchange on the topic of SAFs between various stakeholders and to jointly develop policy recommendations.
Introduction of today's Choice Fare
In all travel classes, guests can contribute to future CO₂ savings potential with the Economy Choice, Premium Choice and Business Choice fares.
World's first eMPL course with electric aircraft completed
In 2025, Condor flight students completed the world's first eMPL course as part of their ab-initio pilot training (CAP) at TFC Käufer flight school in Germany. Prospective pilots are trained on both conventional and electric aircraft.
Collaboration with INERATEC
Condor has been involved in the INERATEC Customer Advisory Board (CAB) since spring 2025. By providing insights into market trends, production requirements, and regulatory challenges, members help INERATEC scale its e-SAF technology to advance industry-wide decarbonization efforts.
Round up for the future – customer contributions for SAF
With Round up for the future, customers have the opportunity to voluntarily round up the total price of their Condor flight. The difference will be fully invested in using SAF in future, beyond what is already required by law.
Good progress in replacing the fleet on short/medium haul routes
As of May 2025, nine brand-new aircraft from the A32Xneo family have already been integrated into the Condor fleet.
Continuous assessment of new technological innovations and efficiency measures
As an airline, we are aware of our responsibility. That is why we are continuously working to reduce emissions and use resources efficiently. To this end, we rely on state-of-the-art fleet technology, sustainable aviation fuels (Sustainable Aviation Fuel – SAF), optimized operational processes, and carefully selected product offerings, among other things.
We also offer our guests the opportunity to choose one of our three SAF customer offers as part of the flight booking, thereby supporting the future use of SAF beyond statutory requirements as well as selected climate protection projects worldwide.


Condor supports the aviation industry's goal to reduce CO₂ emissions in the long term. An important part of this is the modernization of the fleet. The conversion of the entire long-haul fleet was completed within a record time of just two years.
Since March 2024, only brand-new Airbus A330neo aircraft have been deployed on Condor long-haul routes. Since then, modernization efforts on short and medium-haul routes have continued with 43 Airbus A32Xneo orders.
Since 2023, the Base Coat / Clear Coat system from the Hamburg-based company Mankiewicz has introduced a new coating system that offers several environmental advantages for aircraft painting. It consists of a highly pigmented base coat that requires less paint, thereby saving material, weight, and processing time. Additionally, a high-gloss clear coat is applied, which, among other benefits, prolongs the lifespan of the colorful Condor stripes on our aircraft.
Through the use of our new fleet and the use of the latest engine technology, we are reducing our noise emissions by at least 40%* compared to Condor's predecessor models. As part of our association memberships and regional initiatives, we are also actively involved in terms of content and, for example, are testing procedures together with air traffic control to reduce noise pollution during approach and departure.
*A330neo vs. B767: -40%; A321neo vs. B757: -50%; Comparison based on cumulative sound energy for ICAO measurement points based on EASA Records/Noise Certificates.




We continuously develop measures to enhance efficiency in operational flight activities. As part of our so-called Ops Efficiency activities, we use special software solutions in the cockpit and for timetable optimization so that we can fly as efficiently as possible. In addition, we rely on procedures such as single engine taxiing (i.e., taxiing on the apron with only one engine running) and prioritize the use of ground power where feasible. We achieve weight savings on board, for instance, by offering digital magazines , installing lighter seats and using lighter trolleys and cargo containers.


Since April 2025, customers have had the opportunity to contribute to future potential CO₂ savings with Green Fares. Anyone booking the Economy Green, Premium Green, or Business Green fares contributes an amount equivalent to the kerosene-related CO₂ emissions of their Condor or Marabu flights. This contribution is allocated proportionally to the promotion of two selected climate protection projects run by our partner myclimate and to the percentage increase in the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) on Condor flights.
From catering and equipment to eJournal, Condor rethinks the materials used in all areas and reviews processes with the aim of using less single-use plastic and conserving resources.
A good example of this is bamboo cutlery or metal and the beverage cups made of recycled PET. On many of our flights, you can pre-order delicious vegetarian, vegan or organic dishes. Through targeted analyses and appropriate management, we at Condor do everything we can to predict the demand for meals for each flight as accurately as possible in order to avoid overloading.
If there is still food left over, our Last-Offer-Angebot comes into play: On the last flight of the day, we offer fresh baked goods and meals at reduced prices, when available. In 2024, over 11 tonnes of food—equivalent to 87,000 meals—were utilized.
In our amenity kits, we pay attention to both packaging materials and the raw materials used for the hygiene products. We also try to regularly expand our range in in-flight sales to include selected products made from alternative materials.
In addition, we offer FLY&HELP products there, a portion of the proceeds of which is donated to educational projects in developing countries.




Collaboration with VeeCollective: Together with the fashion label VeeCollective, we have developed a bag that is specially tailored to meet the needs of our crews. The Vee Tote – the label's bestseller – has been reissued in an exclusive size and is made entirely from 100% recycled, vegan materials – from the fabric and lining to the thread and zippers.
Collaboration with Coffeecycle: Handmade entirely in Germany, the Condor coffee soap from Coffeecycle blends modern upcycling with traditional soap craftsmanship. Reused espresso coffee grounds create a gentle exfoliating effect, and essential orange oil imparts a fresh scent that evokes sunny destinations.
This results in everyday products that combine design, functionality, and environmental awareness.
A significant milestone for Condor was the introduction of our climate contribution in July 2024. By doing so, you are joining us in supporting three selected climate protection projects by our partner myclimate, as well as the future use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) on our flights. You have the option to choose one of a total of eight climate packages when booking your Condor or Marabu flight.
Customers have the opportunity to contribute to future potential CO₂ savings with the Choice Fare. Guests who book the Economy Choice, Premium Choice or Business Choice fares make a contribution that is partially allocated to the promotion of two selected climate protection projects run by our cooperation partner myclimate and to increasing the future use of SAF on Condor flights.
With Round up for the future, since June 2025 you have had the option to voluntarily round up the total price of your flight. The difference will be fully invested in using SAF in future, beyond what is already required by law.


SAF is an umbrella term for alternative aviation fuels that are produced without the use of fossil raw materials such as petroleum and that have a CO₂ footprint reduced by up to 80% compared to conventional kerosene. They are blended with conventional fossil kerosene. Alternative fuels are an important building block for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in aviation while using the existing aircraft fleet and infrastructure.
Find out how you can contribute to the percentage increase in the use of SAF with Condor Choice Fare here.
Condor offers several options for passengers who want to contribute to the reduction of emissions in aviation:
All contributions are used exclusively for these purposes and are completely voluntary. The SAF bought with these contributions is more than the legally required amounts, allowing you to make an additional contribution to the future reduction of kerosene-related emissions in aviation.
You can select the Choice Fare directly when booking your flight on the Condor website. Alternatively, you can change the fare later in My trip. You can also select the Choice Fare if you book your flight with a travel agency.
The contribution will be divided proportionally:
The amount contributed toward climate protection projects and the use of additional sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) are determined by the flight-specific kerosene-related CO₂ emissions associated with the travel class you have booked. These emission values are calculated on the basis of the IATA standard RP 1726, which relies on historical flight data. For more information on calculating future CO₂ savings potential and SAF, see here.
During the flight booking process, you can voluntarily round up the total price of your flight. After entering your flight details and passenger information, the option will appear on the payment overview. With one click, you confirm that you would like to support the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) — then choose whether you would like to round up to the nearest $10.00, $20.00, $50.00 or $100.00.
Yes. You decide if you want to round up the final price of your flight booking to the nearest $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, or $100.00 amount. The total price will be displayed to you in your flight booking.
