Eurowings wants you to buy an organic smoothie for €19 – it will help the airline pay for less polluting jet fuel

SAFt’ fruit smoothie available on Eurowings flights as of now. Eurowings is the first airline to introduce in-flight purchasing option for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)

Sustainable enjoyment can be taken literally on board Eurowings flights going forward – in two ways: by purchasing the new organic fruit smoothie ‘SAFt’ in the Wings Bistro, passengers can offset the flight-related CO₂ emissions of an average Eurowings route length for 19.50 euros as of now. The compensation is made up of two components: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) reduces 10 percent of flight-related CO₂ emissions. The remaining 90 percent of flight-related CO₂ emissions are offset by contributing to a high-quality climate project portfolio with the partners myclimate, Climate Partner and SQUAKE.

SAFt, a play on words involving the German word for ‚juice‘, aims to inform guests about SAF during the flight and offer the sustainable aviation fuel for purchase. Eurowings travelers can thus make a spontaneous and uncomplicated contribution to more sustainable flying. SAF is produced from biogenic waste from renewable sources, such as used cooking oils, and has a carbon footprint that is around 80 percent lower than that of fossil kerosene over its entire life cycle. As a drop-in fuel, SAF is compatible with fossil kerosene and is blended with it before being transported to the airport and then fed into the airport infrastructure. There is no refueling of individual flights with pure SAF.

The smoothie is also all about sustainability: the organic smoothie from kraftschluck is produced in Germany and has no added sugar. Kraftschluck is a young start-up from Nuremberg that guarantees that 99.9% of its fruit comes from German organic farms with short transport routes. The offer of CO₂ compensation that can be booked online in advance (Planet Blu) remains in place. This can be booked in advance for all Eurowings guests via the website www.eurowings.com
