Lufthansa flight from Debrecen to Germany resumed

Lufthansa’s flight between Munich and Debrecen has resumed: the passengers of the first flight in two years were welcomed by the airline, the airport and the city of Debrecen on Sunday.

According to airportal.hu, Gábor Antal, the representative of the German Lufthansa Group in Hungary, recalled: from 2016, Lufthansa operated three flights a week between Munich and Debrecen, and after a two-year forced break due to the coronavirus epidemic, they are now operating four flights a week.

The flights will operate on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Interestingly, he said that while in 2019, the last full year before the epidemic, 60 percent of passengers were business travelers and 40 percent were individual travelers, the reverse is true for the current bookings. Their general experience is that the return of companies is more delayed,” he said.

Lufthansa is planning for the long term in Debrecen, Gábor Antal told MTI, indicating that

the BMW Group’s executives will arrive in Debrecen this week for the groundbreaking ceremony of the BMW car factory in Debrecen on a Lufthansa flight.

Ádám Kovács, the head of the town hall’s cabinet, recalled that since 2016, when Lufthansa launched its Debrecen-Munich flight, a number of German companies have settled in the city, providing jobs for more than a thousand people.
