Lufthansa Launches Direct Flights Between Munich and Bengaluru

Lufthansa has announced the launch of direct flights between Munich, Germany, and Bengaluru, India. The new route will operate three times a week, starting November 4, 2023.

Bengaluru is the third Indian city to have a direct connection to Lufthansa’s Munich hub, joining Delhi and Mumbai. The city is known as India’s “Silicon Valley” and is a major hub for the IT and aerospace industries.

Lufthansa Bengaluru-Munich Flight Schedule

The new Lufthansa flight from Bengaluru to Munich will depart three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The flight will arrive in Munich on the same day at 8:05 AM.

Lufthansa will operate the new route with an Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The aircraft features a comfortable cabin with a variety of amenities, including local cuisine and catering.

Lufthansa’s Commitment to India

Lufthansa has a long history in India, dating back over 90 years. The company is committed to the Indian market and plans to operate 64 weekly flights between India and Europe by January 2024. This is an increase from pre-pandemic levels.

Economic Growth in India

Lufthansa’s decision to expand its India operations is based on the country’s strong economic growth. India is now the fifth-largest economy in the world and is projected to be the third-largest by 2030.

New APAC Destination

Bengaluru is Lufthansa’s first new destination in the Asia-Pacific region since the pandemic. The company sees the city as a strategic market and is excited to offer direct flights to its customers.

Lufthansa’s Statement

“It is an incredibly exciting time to be in India as the country is witnessing tremendous economic growth. It is now the 5th largest economy and is on track to be the 3rd largest economy by 2030. We have been invested in India for more than 90 years and when looking for our first new APAC destination since the pandemic, Bengaluru was a natural fit,” said George Ettiyil, Lufthansa Group Senior Director – South Asia.
