By making a climate contribution, you are joining us in supporting three projects undertaken 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. There are eight different climate packages to choose from.
Responsibility is an essential part of the Condor company culture. We are aware that long-term business success means considering the environmental impact of our actions – both at our company headquarters in Germany and at 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 fuels (SAFs) beyond the statutory quota on future flights. You have the option of selecting a package tailored to your needs and personal use. There are eight different climate packages to choose from.
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 the 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.
Find out here how you can contribute to increasing the future use of SAF with the Condor Choice Fare.
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 its Choice Fare, Condor purchases SAF and uses it on future Condor flights. These SAF volumes go beyond the quantities required by law.
Moreover, according to the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) can help reduce contrails and climate impacts in aviation. Because SAF contains fewer aromatic compounds than kerosene, it results 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.
