Round up for the future

1. Book a flight: After entering your flight and passenger details, you'll be taken directly to the payment overview.
2. Tick the box: Simply click to confirm that you want to contribute toward promoting the future use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
3. Round up the amount: Then choose whether you want to round up the final price to the nearest $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, or $100.00 amount. At this point, you will be shown the difference.
4. Actively promoting the use of SAF: The rounded-up amount will be fully invested in the additional use of SAF – beyond statutory requirements – and will be used to fuel Condor aircraft over the next 12 months.

What is Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF)?

Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is an umbrella term for all aviation fuels that are produced without the use of fossil raw materials such as petroleum. These fuels reduce the CO₂ footprint by up to 80%. With electricity-based Power-to-Liquid (PtL) fuels, CO₂ reductions will be even higher in the future compared to fossil kerosene (> 90%). SAF are blended with conventional fossil kerosene for use in aviation.

Why is it important?

Alternative fuels are the only way to decarbonize aviation with existing technology. As part of the climate contribution, Condor purchases SAF and will use it on future Condor flights. These are SAF quantities that exceed the legally prescribed quantities.

According to the German Aerospace Center (DLR), SAF can also help reduce contrails and climate impacts in aviation. This is because SAF contains fewer aromatic compounds than kerosene, resulting in fewer soot particles. In turn, this reduces ice crystal formation and thus the formation of cirrus clouds, which contribute to global warming. In addition, SAF could positive influence other non-CO₂ emissions such as nitrogen oxides, further mitigating the climate impact.
