Lufthansa Begins Nonstop Service From DIA To Munich
DENVER (CBS4)- Lufthansa began nonstop service from Denver International Airport to Munich, Germany on Wednesday.
"This new nonstop service will provide access to Munich International Airport, one of the fastest and most convenient hubs, with just 30-minute connection times to 150 destinations including one-stop access to nearly 30 new cities," airport CEO Kim Day said in a statement.
The flight operates five times per week, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, using an Airbus A330-300 which seat 236 passengers.
The flights depart DIA at 4:05 p.m. and arrive in Munich the following morning.
The Airbus 330-300 will be turned into the Airbus A340-600 during peak summer travel months from July to October.
"Denver has been an important market for Lufthansa since 2001. The reintroduction of our Denver-Munich route increases capacity by nearly 50 percent, demonstrating the boost in demand we're receiving from leisure and business travelers to both Munich and Frankfurt," said Juergen Siebenrock, Vice President The Americas at Lufthansa German Airlines in a statement.
