Saudi Arabia's Air Connectivity Program announced that German airline Lufthansa will operate direct flights from Munich to Riyadh, at a rate of 3 flights per week, starting October 27, 2025, contributing to the development of air routes and increased seat capacity.
The new route is an important addition to the current daily flights between Riyadh and Frankfurt, offering tourists wider options for traveling from Germany to the Kingdom, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
Lufthansa is scheduled to operate this relaunched route using its latest aircraft, the Airbus A350-900, with a capacity of 293 seats across Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy Class.
The Air Connectivity Program is a program that aims to increase tourism growth in the Kingdom by strengthening air connectivity between the Kingdom and the world, through developing current and potential air routes and connecting the Kingdom to new global destinations.
As the executive enabler of the National Tourism Strategy and the Aviation Program, the Air Connectivity Program works to strengthen cooperation and build partnerships among key public and private sector players in the tourism and aviation ecosystems, in order to strengthen the Kingdom's position as a global tourist destination in the field of tourism air connectivity.
