News / Daily service to Munich

FLYBMI is launching a daily service between Leeds Bradford Airport and Munich in Germany.

The new route is intended to provide business and leisure travellers with a convenient link to Bavaria’s capital city; a key business destination and a cultural hot spot, ideal for short breaks.

Munich is also home to the annual Oktoberfest where millions of people flock each year to enjoy over two weeks of celebrations and beer drinking, as well as an ideal gateway to the Alps. On-going connections via Munich are also available, thanks to flybmi’s partnership with Lufthansa.

Flybmi’s managing director, Jochen Schnadt said: “As part of our on-going strategy to link key business hubs throughout Europe, it was a natural choice to connect the West Yorkshire region via the Leeds Bradford hub to Germany’s third largest city.

“We believe that this route will be popular with business and leisure travellers alike who will benefit from flybmi’s fast and efficient service and in time, we hope to expand our operations to include additional services from Leeds Bradford.”

David Laws, chief executive at Leeds Bradford Airport said:

“We are delighted to welcome flybmi to Leeds Bradford Airport with this exciting announcement of our new Munich service.

“Munich is a leading European city and is a fantastic addition to our flight programme as we continue to explore and add further destinations available for Yorkshire’s travelling public from their local Airport.

“We know this is a route that has long been desired by the people of this region for some time. Munich is not only a great place to visit, but we also believe that due to the onward destinations available via the airport’s hub connectivity, this will help boost the region’s business and trade links.

“We hope this is the start of a special relationship and this announcement is a clear indication of not only flybmi’s support for this airport, but also shows they recognise the fantastic potential we all know exists in our great region.”

The route will operate seven days a week from April 8. One way fares can be booked online now from £99.
