Lufthansa considers the use of sustainable fuels in aviation, especially electricity-based fuels (Power-to-Liquid, PTL), as demanded by politicians, to be unrealistic.
In a guest article for the "Tagesspiegel", Kay Lindemann, Head of Corporate Policy at Lufthansa, criticized the national PTL quota that airlines must meet from 2030 onwards as impossible to achieve. The reason is the lack of availability of such fuels, which are currently not produced in sufficient quantities across Europe. Lindemann is calling on the federal government to reconsider its special national solution in order to avoid unnecessary penalties for airlines and their customers.
