Lufthansa Group will equip more than 130 Airbus A320-family jets with real-time automated flight-profile transfer technology from 2026, aiming to optimise routings in flight, reduce CO2 emissions, and boost punctuality by linking onboard systems with network and air-traffic data.

Briefing
Rollout covers 130+ A320s from 2026 — a significant, measurable operational change intended to cut CO2 and improve on-time performance across short- and medium-haul operations.
Airlines must deploy operational and software measures as near-term levers to lower fuel burn where propulsion improvements alone are insufficient; see the industry warning that propulsion alone won’t meet 20–25% fuel-efficiency goals.
The programme aligns with Lufthansa’s wider cost and efficiency push and mirrors peers adopting emissions-tracking and flight-operations integrations; related context includes the group’s recent efficiency measures and industrial tensions and operators integrating emissions and flight-management tools.
