The Lufthansa subsidiary Discover Airlines has launched its first long-haul connection from Munich. The first flight to Orlando took off on March 5, with the airline officially inaugurating its new long-haul base at Munich Airport. The connection to the US leisure metropolis will initially be operated three times a week with an Airbus A330.
Orlando is one of the most popular travel destinations in the USA, particularly because of its numerous theme parks. Flights depart every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until the end of April, and then Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from May. By adding Orlando, Discover Airlines is further expanding its offering and strengthening the tourist connections between Germany and North America.
In addition to Orlando, the airline will add two more intercontinental routes from Munich to its program in the 2025 summer flight schedule: Windhoek in Namibia and Calgary in Canada. The Discover fleet currently comprises eight aircraft that serve a total of 32 holiday destinations with 80 weekly departures on short, medium and long-haul routes. The expansion is part of the Lufthansa Group's strategy to further expand the tourism segment within the group.
