In Quotes
Stefan Kreuzpaintner, Head of the Munich hub and Head of Sales for the Lufthansa Group states
“We are pleased to be able to offer an attractive long-haul destination as a new route from Munich for the first time since the pandemic began. Due to the high demand, Munich is the third hub of the Lufthansa Group to add Dubai to its flight schedule, after Frankfurt and Zurich. And for the first time, our passengers will be able to travel from Munich to the Emirates on the most sustainable long-haul aircraft in our fleet: the Airbus A350-900,”
Returning to the region
Lufthansa already flew from Munich to Dubai from 2003 to 2016, most recently with an Airbus A330. Since 2016, passengers have had to go via another hub (Frankfurt or Zurich) to reach Dubai
Of course, Emirates operates on the route too – the real competition for the airline. What Lufthansa has that Emirates doesn’t – is a hub at Munich Airport, allowing them regional traffic flows onto the long haul network.
But it is good to seem Lufthansa Group to add another route to Dubai.
