Lufthansa takes activ part in scientific climate
research projects
What influences the formation of condensation
trails?

Lufthansa takes active part in monitoring our
atmosphere
  • Since more than 9 years
  • continuous measurements on each flight
  • onboard of 3 A340-300 long haul aircrafts of
    atmospheric O3 and H2O

Significance Cloud Formation, Climate Research,
Chemistry (OH)

MOZAIC Operation
  • 2.500 Flights per year (5000 vertical profiles)
  • 19942002 19.000 flights with O3/H2O
    instrumentation
  • 130.000 flight hours of O3 and H2O data
  • 2001-2002 500 flights with additional CO
  • 500 flights with additional NOy
  • 200 flights with
    additional CO/NOy
  • 5 Long-range Aircraft (A340-300) operated by
  • Lufthansa (21), Air France, Austrian Airlines,
    Sabena

A further long term project to investigate our
atmosphere
CARIBIC
Civil Aircraft for the Regular Investigation of
the atmosphere Based on an Instrument Container
An European atmospheric research project operated
by Lufthansa
  • 1,6 t
  • as of May 2004
  • planed operating time 10 years
  • one of the new A340-600 delivered to LH
  • O3, CO, CO2, H2O, NOX, NOY, Aerosole, organic
    compounds

Specific fuel consumption has been continuously
reduced ...
4.5 l/100pkm average specific fuel consumption of
the whole passenger fleet in 2002
27 reduction since 1991
... due to continuous fleet modernisation

Lufthansa has decoupled transport performance and
