“We are delighted to welcome Lufthansa’s inaugural service from the great city of Munich. Germany is among the top ten country markets for Dubai International with 2.6 million in passenger traffic in 2019 and the launch of this new service will enable further growth by boosting connectivity and adding timely capacity between the two destinations,” said Jamal Al Hai, Deputy CEO of Dubai Airports.

In regards to the new route, Holger Mahnicke, Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany Dubai said, “The new Lufthansa direct flights between Dubai and Munich are important for connecting the people of our two countries. This also sends a strong signal at the start of the EXPO 2020.”
