Lufthansa Cargo, CEVA to increase SAF usage for sustainable airfreight

Lufthansa Cargo and global logistics provider CEVA Logistics have signed an agreement to expand their use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to reduce carbon emissions associated with freight transport.

“We’ve built a long-standing, trust-based partnership with CEVA Logistics. Taking action together on SAF now sends a strong signal: customers and carriers can drive real progress when working hand in hand. Sustainability is not an add-on for us – it’s an essential part of how we fulfill our purpose: Enabling Global Business,” says Anand Kulkarni, head of global markets at Lufthansa Cargo.

The agreement aims to enable measurable CO2 reductions in airfreight operations through joint efforts, mutual learning, and transparency.

The MoU sets the foundation for a long-term cooperation, with verifiable emission reductions already expected in 2025.

“Lufthansa Cargo is not only a long-standing business partner – we also share the same ambition: making airfreight more sustainable. With our joint focus on SAF, we’re laying the foundation to achieve our climate goals while driving innovative supply chain solutions – powered by Lufthansa Cargo’s efficient Boeing 777F freighter fleet,” says Loïc Gay, Global Air & Ocean Products leader at CEVA Logistics.
