Swiss International Airlines has made it easier for customers to offset carbon emissions from air travel during the booking process.
The carrier, which is part of the Lufthansa Group, now enables travellers to purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or invest in climate protection projects while booking on its website and along with the flight, pay at the end of the process.
Tamur Goudarzi Pour, chief commercial officer of Swiss, said: "Our long-term sustainability strategy at Swiss is an ambitious one that rests on multiple pillars. Along with our commitment to actively promote the use of new technologies such as solar fuel, it’s very important to us to ensure that existing means of making air travel carbon-neutral are as accessible as possible for our customers. And integrating our carbon-offset options directly into the flight booking process is an important step in doing so."
Customers also have the option to combine the purchase of SAF and investment in climate protection projects to offset carbon emissions.
