Lufthansa is expanding its current summer flight schedule and offering a new daily direct connection from Munich to Bari in southern Italy from June 1 to June 29. According to the aviation portal "Aeroroutes," the German airline will serve the route with Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft. At the same time, Lufthansa subsidiary Air Dolomiti is reducing its flight frequency on the same route from three to two daily flights.
Lufthansa's new daily service indicates expected or increased demand on this route. Bari is the capital of the southern Italian region of Apulia and an important economic and cultural center. The city is attractive to both business travelers and tourists who want to explore Apulia's coastal region and hinterland. The flight time from Munich to Bari is typically approximately one and a half to two hours.
The decision to increase Lufthansa's frequency while reducing Air Dolomiti's capacity could be a strategic adjustment within the Lufthansa Group to optimally serve demand. Airbus A320s and A321s have a higher passenger capacity than the regional jets typically used by Air Dolomiti. This could indicate that Lufthansa expects higher utilization of the route.
The daily connection from Munich offers travelers a flexible way to travel to Puglia during the specified period in the summer flight schedule. This could be particularly beneficial for vacationers who want to visit the region's beaches and attractions. The adjustment of the flight schedule reflects the dynamic nature of air traffic and the ongoing optimization of route offerings by the airlines.
