Munich 2025: Discover Airlines kicks off summer with long-haul destinations and even more flights on offer

• Inaugural long-haul flights: March 5 Orlando, April 1 Windhoek, April 12 Calgary
• More choice than ever: 32 holiday destinations and over 80 weekly departures in the flight schedule
• Munich fleet grows by another Airbus A320 to eight aircraft
• CEO Bernd Bauer: “We are looking back on a successful first year in Munich.”

Starting this week, Discover Airlines will also offer long-haul flights from Munich. For the first time ever, a scheduled non-stop flight to Orlando, Florida, will depart from Germany's second-largest airport on March 5. New direct connections to Windhoek in Namibia and Calgary in Canada will follow on April 1 and 12. While Orlando and Windhoek will be served three times a week from Munich all year round, the three weekly flights to Calgary will be replaced in winter by up to three weekly flights to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. All four destinations have never been served from Munich before or were last served a long time ago.

More destinations, more aircraft: Largest leisure airline in Munich

The Lufthansa Group's leisure airline has been flying to numerous short and medium-haul destinations from Munich since last spring. This summer, an additional Airbus A320 will expand the Munich fleet to a total of eight aircraft (2x A330 and 6x A320). In addition to the new long-haul connections, the airline's flight schedule includes 32 holiday destinations and an average of over 80 weekly departures on short-, medium- and long-haul routes this summer. From the Canary Islands and numerous Mediterranean destinations to Varna and Burgas in Bulgaria or Bodø in Norway and Reykjavík in Iceland, the leisure airline's offer from Munich is once again significantly larger and more varied than last year.

"We are looking back on a successful first year in Munich, both in operational and commercial terms. Our second home base is already making an important contribution to the overall success of Discover Airlines and the booking figures show that this positive development is continuing. I am therefore all the more pleased that we are now able to expand our offer for travelers from Munich with fantastic long-haul destinations and also some completely new destinations within Europe just in time for the summer," says Bernd Bauer, CEO of Discover Airlines.

Alongside Frankfurt, Munich Airport is Discover Airlines' second home base, where it is operating eight aircraft this year. All flights depart from Terminal 2, ensuring seamless transfers between Discover Airlines and Lufthansa, which is particularly important for long-haul feeder flights. Discover Airlines employs around 400 people in the cockpit, cabin and on the ground in Munich this year.
