After a week-long “Corona break”, Lufthansa is again operating long-haul flights from Munich. The first destinations to make their "comeback" are Chicago and Los Angeles.

On Wednesday, Deutsche Lufthansa AG flew to Los Angeles from Munich for the first time since March 350, 13 with an Airbus A2020. Chicago was resumed on Tuesday. Initially, three weekly rotations will be offered on both routes, the company said in a media statement.

“This week we will resume long-haul connections from Munich with the most modern, economical and environmentally friendly long-haul aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet, the A350. During every trip, not only the safety but also the health of our passengers has top priority, ”says Ola Hansson, Head of Hub at Lufthansa.

"I see this resumption of intercontinental traffic as the important first step on a stretch of the road ahead of us, at the end of which I am firmly convinced that there will be a pulsating Munich hub traffic again," explained Munich boss Jost Lammers.
