Lufthansa $LHA (-5,32 %) is facing a challenge: a ruling by the Cologne Regional Court has decided that the airline may no longer use certain CO₂ statements in its advertising. Deutsche Umwelthilfe has won an important victory in this case and the court has upheld the claim in full. Although the ruling is not yet final, the impact on Lufthansa's marketing strategies could be significant. Especially at a time when sustainability is becoming increasingly important to travelers, this could fundamentally change the way the airline presents its environmentally friendly offers and force it to find more creative approaches to appeal to its customers.
