On Tuesday (March 10, 2026), Lufthansa Cargo announced an expansion of their Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) cooperation with CEVA Logistics.  Lufthansa Cargo is consistently advancing the use of SAF together with customers and partners.  The focus is on a strategic approach based on three-year framework agreements, clearly defined quality and verification standards, and flexible follow-up arrangements.  This model provides planning certainty while allowing additional SAF volumes to be integrated at short notice and the use of more sustainable aviation fuels to be scaled step by step.


In Tuesday’s announcement, Lufthansa Cargo’s Head of Corporate Responsibility, Bettina Petzold, said,


“The market ramp-up of SAF requires reliability, transparency and long-term collaboration.  This is exactly where our structured approach comes in.  Our agreements create the foundation on which we want to achieve measurable progress together with our customers in reducing CO₂ emissions across global supply chains.”


One example of this strategic approach is Lufthansa Cargo’s partnership with CEVA Logistics. Building on a multi-year SAF framework agreement concluded in 2025, an additional SAF volume for 2026 has now been agreed to.  The existing contractual framework enabled both companies to implement further SAF volumes for CEVA Logistics quickly and reliably.  While the first agreement for 2025, as previously announced, enabled a CO₂ reduction of around 8,000 metric tons, the newly added volume will contribute a further reduction of around 7,000 metric tons in 2026.  Combined, this results in total CO₂ savings of approximately 15,000 metric tons.

 

Lufthansa Cargo is one of the world’s leading cargo airlines and part of the Lufthansa Group, Europe’s largest airline group.  In 2025, the company generated revenues of 3.4 billion euros and a transport performance of 9.1 billion freight tonne-kilometers, and currently employs approximately 4,200 team members worldwide.  Through five cargo hubs in Frankfurt, Munich, Brussels, Vienna and Rome, the carrier transports an average of 2,500 tons of freight per day across an airport-to-airport network that covers 350 destinations in over 100 countries.  Lufthansa Cargo markets the belly-hold cargo capacities Lufthansa Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Discover Airlines, ITA Airways and SunExpress, as well as its own dedicated freighter fleet of 18 Boeing 777F and four Airbus A321F.  Additionally, around 300 trucks operate daily under a Lufthansa Cargo flight number. Together with its subsidiaries, Lufthansa Cargo offers customized, fast and efficient logistics solutions along the entire supply chain.
