Brussels Airlines & Tomorrowland: revolutionizing party flights for a greener tomorrow

Tuesday, December 5, 2023

In 2024, the renowned Tomorrowland parties are set to adopt a more sustainable approach. Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland have forged a partnership committing to the use of 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) for all designated flights, potentially reducing CO2 emissions by up to 80%. Green Fares, an eco-friendly plane ticket, will become a standard inclusion in the Global Journey package for international festivalgoers. Brussels Airlines envisions expanding such partnerships to significantly diminish its carbon footprint.

Acknowledging their ecological impact, Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland have long invested in initiatives to mitigate their footprint. The partners strive to strike a balance between their love for music and travel and their responsibility to safeguard the planet for future generations.

“Embarking on a journey towards a better world tomorrow begins with the steps we take today. Together with Brussels Airlines we can unite festivalgoers from around the globe at Tomorrowland in Belgium. Now we are working collaboratively to amplify the power of collective action and create positive change for all, that starts with us. The People of Tomorrow can contribute to sustainability projects and at the same time reduce the environmental impact of their flights.”
​- Debby Wilmsen, Head of Media Relations & Internal Communication, Tomorrowland

For the 11th consecutive year, Brussels Airlines will transport party enthusiasts worldwide to Belgium for the globally acclaimed music festival. In the 2024 edition, all plane tickets sold within the Global Journey packages on Brussels Airlines will be Green Fares—a unique offering within the Lufthansa Group Airlines. These fares allow passengers to purchase 20% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) while contributing 80% to high-quality, Belgian, and local climate compensation projects.

Taking a step further on the special party flights, Brussels Airlines and Tomorrowland go beyond the Green Fare by jointly contributing to the remaining 80% SAF, ensuring the purchase of 100% SAF for these flights. Lufthansa Group will procure the equivalent SAF for the required fuel on these party flights, with distribution within the group.

“At Brussels Airlines, we work very hard to combine our passion to discover the world with our responsibility to protect it for future generations. We aim to halve net carbon emissions by 2030 compared to 2019, and to be carbon neutral by 2050. Sustainable Aviation Fuel, together with fleet renewal, is a key lever in obtaining these goals. Lufthansa Group is already one of the biggest SAF-buyers in the world. We encourage every individual passenger to contribute to more SAF, with our Green Fares.”
​- Balázs Németh, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Brussels Airlines

Ticket sales commence on December 6th.

Striving for maximum sustainability in partnerships, Brussels Airlines aims to persuade more collaborators to establish similar agreements. Already on board is the Royal Union Saint-Gilloise football team, which has joined the coalition, committing to the purchase of 100% SAF for their flights when traveling to international games.
