Lufthansa plans ‘substantial expansion’ of Glasgow-Germany flights

A “substantial expansion” of flights between Glasgow and Germany is being scheduled by Lufthansa for next summer.

A new daily service to Frankfurt will start in March 26, 2018 along with increased frequency to Munich to five flights a week.

Lufthansa started flying from Glasgow with a weekly, summer only service to Munich in May 2015.

This increased to four flights a week from yesterday (Monday), operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. This will rise to five a week with a Saturday flight added from March.

All flights will operate next summer with aircraft from the Airbus 320 family with broadband internet access for passengers from 2018.

Fares are inclusive taxes and charges and start at £87.

The additional flights will allow travellers from Glasgow to access onward connections to Lufthansa’s worldwide network to 193 destinations in 75 countries via its Frankfurt and Munich hubs.

UK senior sales director Andreas Koester said: “The introduction of these services will result in a massive increase in Lufthansa’s flight offer at Glasgow – a level of growth which is unprecedented in recent years.

“To go from a single weekly service to 12 flights a week in 12 months is remarkable.

“It reinforces our commitment to meet the expectations of our Scottish passengers and also confirms the continuing importance of Glasgow airport within the Lufthansa worldwide network.”
