Leipzig / Halle Airport welcomed a Lufthansa Cityline Bombardier CRJ-900 again on Monday after a long break. The crane connects the East German airport to the Frankfurt am Main hub up to eight times a week.

Lufthansa plans to continuously expand the service to the Frankfurt hub to 14 weekly flights over the course of the summer. As a result of the pandemic, the Leipzig / Halle - Frankfurt connection has been suspended since March 18, 2020.

Offers from Dresden

Lufthansa has been serving the Dresden - Frankfurt route for a year now - after only a seven-week interruption as a result of the pandemic. The flights are offered daily. Up to three connections per day between Dresden and Frankfurt are planned from July. Lufthansa flies to the Munich hub from Wednesdays to Sundays and Mondays. From August the connection will be operated daily.

Götz Ahmelmann, CEO of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG: We are delighted that Lufthansa is again represented at both airports. This is an optimistic signal and an important step towards connecting the region of Central Germany to the airline's global route network as required.
