The immediate impact on Lufthansa's carbon footprint will likely be just a drop in the ocean however given that Lufthansa Cargo emitted nearly four million tonnes of CO2 in 2020. The Lufthansa group as a whole aims to cut its carbon output in half by 2030 compared with 2019 levels. The group emitted more than 11 million tonnes of carbon dioxide overall in 2020, down from 33 million tonnes in 2019 before the pandemic upended the travel industry. (AFP)
