Lufthansa Group publishes Summer 2027 flight schedule: Ten new long-haul routes and numerous frequency increases.
Ten new intercontinental connections, new European destinations and numerous frequency increases: The Lufthansa Group Airlines Summer 2027 flight schedule will be available for booking from 20 October 2026.
This is the most comprehensive program expansion of the Group since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The airlines Lufthansa, Discover Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Brussels Airlines, Edelweiss and ITA Airways are expanding their offering for Summer 2027 now.
The focus is on the Americas (Canada, the USA, and South America), with new nonstop connections to Edmonton (Canada), Columbus and Phoenix in the USA, and Caracas in Venezuela. Asia is also in focus, with two new destinations in Japan from Frankfurt: Nagoya and Tokyo-Narita.
"The world moves a little closer for Lufthansa Group customers in the Summer 2027 flight schedule: a total of ten new destinations and even more new connections represent not only the largest route expansion across our six Lufthansa Group hubs in a long time, but above all a promise to our guests: even more choice, even better connectivity, and even shorter journeys to what drives people — meeting business partners, family and friends, and exploring the world together with them," says Stefan Kreuzpaintner, Senior Vice President Commercial Customer Offer.
New Lufthansa services from Frankfurt
From 5 May 2027, Lufthansa will connect Frankfurt with Columbus, the state capital of Ohio, USA, three times per week – on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays – on a nonstop basis. Lufthansa is the first and therefore the only European airline with a nonstop connection to this economically strong region with a high proportion of business travelers. A Boeing 787-9 in the new Allegris cabin configuration will be deployed on this route.
Bookable since 6 October: From 28 March 2027, Lufthansa will operate a daily flight from Frankfurt to Tokyo-Narita (Japan). This complements the airline's existing daily services from Frankfurt and Munich to Tokyo-Haneda, with a second Tokyo airport served daily. Lufthansa will operate the Tokyo-Narita service with the Boeing 787-9 in Allegris configuration.
Lufthansa will also seasonally resume the direct Frankfurt–Nagoya (Japan) connection: from 29 March 2027, flights will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from Frankfurt. In addition, the airline is increasing frequencies to, among other destinations, Cape Town (South Africa), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Hyderabad, Chennai (both India) and Montreal (Canada). The Frankfurt–Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) route, which is being added to the schedule in October 2026, will continue through Summer 2027 and be expanded to a daily departure.
As a new European destination from Frankfurt, Dubrovnik (Croatia) will be served by Lufthansa again – daily with an aircraft from the A320 family.
New Lufthansa services from Munich
From 3 August 2027, Lufthansa will launch the new Munich–Phoenix route. The state capital of Arizona is one of the fastest-growing regions in the USA and has not yet had a direct connection to any Lufthansa Group hub. Three times per week – on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays – an Airbus A350-900 will depart from Munich to Phoenix.
From 28 March 2027, Lufthansa will add a second service to its Munich–Delhi offering – seasonally, also with an Airbus A350-900. Additional frequencies will be added to, among other destinations, Bangalore (India), Chicago (USA), São Paulo (Brazil) and Singapore.
