Discover Airlines, a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, has inaugurated its direct flight service between Hosea Kutako International Airport (WDH) in Windhoek and Munich Airport (MUC), marking the only scheduled direct connection between the two cities.
The first flight, 4Y142, departed from Munich on Tuesday, 1 April, at 21:35 and landed in Windhoek at 07:10 on Wednesday, 2 April.
The new route will operate three times a week throughout the year. In April, flights will depart Windhoek on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, shifting to Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from May.
Discover Airlines has been serving Windhoek since August 2021, previously offering multiple weekly flights from Frankfurt. With the addition of the Munich route, the airline now operates a total of 10 weekly flights between Germany and Namibia, including daily flights from Frankfurt and three weekly services from Munich.
“We are thrilled to offer this new direct route between Windhoek and Munich, marking a significant milestone for our airline and, of course, both regions,” said Marco Goetz, Chief Commercial Officer of Discover Airlines.
“Since we started flying here from Frankfurt, Windhoek has been one of the most frequented destinations of our airline. We are already seeing strong demand from travellers from southern Germany. Windhoek has always been a strong partner for us. We look forward to further strengthening the connection between both regions and offering even more travel options for our passengers.”
Munich Airport is Germany’s second-largest airport after Frankfurt and serves as a key hub for travellers in the country’s southern regions.
As part of the Lufthansa Group, Discover Airlines offers seamless transfer options via the Group’s main German hubs in Frankfurt and Munich.
The Windhoek–Munich route is serviced by an Airbus A330, accommodating up to 300 passengers, including 30 Business Class seats with full lie-flat beds, up to 31 Premium Economy seats, and up to 244 Economy seats.
