Highlights

Lufthansa will begin nonstop service between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and Franz Josef Strauss International Airport in Munich starting August 3, 2027, the airline announced, as reported by the Phoenix Business Journal and azfamily.com.

The carrier will operate three flights per week on an Airbus A350-900. Westbound service departs Munich at 1:20 p.m. and arrives in Phoenix at 4 p.m. The return leg leaves Phoenix at 5:50 p.m. and lands in Munich at 1:25 p.m. the next day, according to the Sky Harbor press release.

The route is the first regularly scheduled nonstop connection between Phoenix and a Lufthansa Group hub, as One Mile at a Time and Simple Flying both noted in their coverage of the announcement. Sky Harbor's press release quoted the airline as saying it is "thrilled to connect Phoenix" to Munich.

Schedule details and booking availability are expected through Lufthansa's standard channels ahead of the August 2027 launch date.
