Munich Airport has published the final version of its winter schedule, valid from 26 October 2025 to 28 March 2026, and the figures underscore how aggressively Germany’s second-largest hub is rebuilding global connectivity after the pandemic and a turbulent summer.
The timetable lists 184 nonstop destinations – eleven domestic, 119 medium-haul and 54 long-haul – to be served by 81 airlines. Long-haul growth is the headline: Lufthansa is resuming non-stop services to Riyadh, Johannesburg and São Paulo and will roster the double-deck A380 on Bangkok, Delhi, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Discover Airlines, the leisure subsidiary, shifts capacity from Calgary to a new three-weekly Punta Cana rotation aimed at winter-sun demand, while Cathay Pacific, EVA Air and Royal Air Maroc maintain or increase frequencies that underpin Bavaria’s links to Asia and West Africa.
On the medium- and short-haul side, Air Arabia will launch daily Sharjah flights on 15 December, easyJet adds Bristol, Norwegian introduces Tromsø for Northern-Lights traffic and SkyAlps keeps Heraklion on the board deep into the shoulder season. All told, Munich is positioning itself as a full-service hub for both corporate road-warriors and premium-leisure travellers as the German economy leans ever harder on export trade.
For mobility managers the message is twofold. First, more non-stop options reduce the need for time-consuming connections via Frankfurt, Paris or the Gulf super-connectors. Second, the capacity bump comes just weeks before the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) goes live; companies should prepare travellers for new biometric processing even as flight choice improves.
Travel-policy tip: Lufthansa’s three-weekly Riyadh service departs Munich in the early evening, allowing same-day connections from most German regional airports and giving executives a full business day on the ground in Saudi Arabia before flying onward inside the Gulf.
