From March 31st, Discover Airlines will once again take off from Munich with around 70 weekly flights to 23 short and medium-haul destinations. The carrier will base five short-haul aircraft in Munich for the summer 2024 season.
On Thursday (March 21, 2024), Discover Airlines announced they will return to Munich just in time for the start of the summer season on March 31st. The carrier will offer approximately 70 weekly departures to 23 short and medium-haul destinations. Discover Airlines will base five Airbus A320s in Munich for the summer 2024 season. Last year, flights from Munich were operated exclusively on behalf of Lufthansa at the Munich hub, but this summer Discover will operate out of Terminal 2 under their own flight numbers.
In Thursday’s announcement, Discover Airlines’ CEO, Bernd Bauer, said,
“We are looking forward to taking off from Munich again this summer and expanding our presence at this important hub. This complements the Lufthansa Group's offering in Munich and gives travelers even more choice - including to holiday destinations that were previously not served by direct flights.”
From Munich, Discover will serve popular destinations from the Canary Islands, to the Mediterranean and Bodrum in Turkey. The carrier will offer 11 weekly flights to Ibiza, nine to Mallorca and nine to Heraklion and Chania on the island of Crete. In total, Discover will offer around 30 weekly flights to Greece, including new service to Kefalonia. Additionally, Discover Airlines will offer exclusive direct service from Munich to Varna (Bulgaria), Marrakesh (Morocco) and Samos (Greece). In late summer, the airline will also add Hurghada (Egypt) and Funchal on the island of Madeira to their flying program.
