Lufthansa Launches New Nonstop Johannesburg-Munich Route

Posted on by

After a 19-year hiatus, Lufthansa has proudly announced the launch of its new nonstop long-haul service between Johannesburg and Munich (Germany). It marks a significant addition to Lufthansa’s network with 34% more seats offered from Johannesburg and coincides with South Africa’s celebration of Tourism Month.


Onboard the inaugural flight was Lufthansa’s CEO, Jens Ritter, who symbolically
cut the ribbon in Johannesburg to commemorate this exciting new route. “Munich,
with its award-winning airport, is a popular and beautiful city in the heart of
Europe. It is also a convenient hub to take advantage of numerous onwards flights.
Our customers in South Africa will have more choice and travel options departing
from Johannesburg, as this new connection complements our daily service to
Frankfurt. Both routes are priced at the same level, providing passengers with
flexibility to even combine both routes,” said Mr. Ritter.


The new service will operate year-round from Johannesburg, with flights
scheduled every Tuesday, Friday, and Sunday morning. Passengers will travel on
the modern and fuel-efficient Airbus A350-900, which accommodates up to
293 passengers across Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy Class.
With the flight departing Johannesburg at 8:20 AM, travellers now have an
alternative travel time to Europe. It touches down at Munich airport at 6:50 PM, in
10 ½ hours, making it one of the shortest flight times to Western Europe. This
service expands Lufthansa’s footprint in South Africa. Together with Cape Town,
Lufthansa Group carriers Lufthansa, SWISS and Edelweiss now offer a total of
34 weekly connections to Europe from South Africa in the upcoming winter
schedule.

Small Businesses and entrepreneurs are said to be the perfect solution to pull our country’s economic state out of the “red zone” by offering more employment opportunities and boosting the economy. However, small businesses need to be provided with the resources and support necessary to survive past early stages of business – which are the most crucial according to the GEM SA Report conducted recently.

The SOOQ, a local marketplace for small businesses, and Cricut, a leading crafting technology company, have announced their partnership aimed at boosting entrepreneurship and supporting small businesses and makers in South Africa. This collaboration comes at a crucial time as the country emerges from the economic challenges of the volatile election period and the post-COVID delayed impact on small businesses, and strives to foster a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem both on and offline.
