Glasgow Airport has announced a new route to Munich courtesy of German carrier Lufthansa, to commence in summer 2015. This is one of a number of new routes being added to the Lufthansa network in summer 2015.
The network expansion supports the airline’s strategy to enhance aircraft utilisation during the quieter winter season. In recent years destinations in the Indian Ocean have seen market growth for Austrian passengers and the carrier’s existing flights to the Maldives have been extremely popular, showing the high potential in the Austrian long-haul tourism segment.
