The airline has been flying to Charlotte for nearly 20 years, and together with the Raleigh-Durham flight, Lufthansa now serves North Carolina with 12 weekly frequencies to both of its hubs in Frankfurt and Munich.

Expansion in the United States

After a summer of route expansions, this latest addition by Lufthansa marks the 26th gateway for the group’s airlines in the United States, where they operate a combined 400 flights per week.

This dedication to expanding the Lufthansa across North America is further evidenced by the recent launches of a non-stop route from Seattle to Munich and Minneapolis-Saint Paul to Frankfurt, as well as increased capacity from Munich to Washington D.C. with an A380.
