For next winter, Lufthansa will expand their offer to the far north, including new direct service between Munich and Rovaniemi starting December 4, 2026.  For winter 2026/27, Lufthansa will fly up to 69 times weekly to nine airports in the Arctic circle region.

On Friday (March 20, 2026), Lufthansa announced an expansion of their winter 2026/27 flight schedule and bolstering their presence in the Nordic countries. Starting December 4, 2026, Lufthansa will launch first-time direct service between Munich and Rovaniemi (Finland), the capital of Lapland, known as the official ‘Home of Santa Claus.’  The route will operate twice weekly on Fridays and Sundays.  Flight LH2466 will depart Munich at 11:30 and will land in Rovaniemi at 15:45. The return flight, LH2467, departs Rovaniemi at 16:40 and arrives in Munich at 18:55 (all times local).  Lufthansa will deploy a modern Airbus A320neo on the route, known for its efficiency, low noise emissions, and fuel economy.


In addition to the new Rovaniemi service, Lufthansa has announced further adjustments to their winter 2026/27 schedule.  Flights on the Frankfurt–Tromsø (Norway) and Munich–Tromsø routes will each increase by two weekly frequencies.  Seasonal increases are planned for February to March 2027, with Frankfurt–Rovaniemi gaining a third weekly flight, Frankfurt–Kuusamo (Finland) will see a second frequency, and Munich–Kittilä (Finland) will have a second and third weekly connection.


In addition to Lufthansa, other Lufthansa Group airlines, including Austrian Airlines, Edelweiss, Eurowings, and Discover Airlines, offer service to the Nordics.  In 2015, Lufthansa operated their first flight to Kittilä, an exclusive winter sports destination in Lapland.  Since then, the region has evolved into a popular year-round travel destination.  Currently, the Lufthansa Group operates up to 69 weekly flights to nine Arctic Circle airports. This includes Tromsø, a standout success story since its opening in 2016. With up to 22 weekly flights from eight airports, Tromsø ranks among the best-connected destinations in the region.
