Discover Airlines is set to increase its Munich-Windhoek service from three to five weekly flights from April 2027.
The Lufthansa Group leisure carrier announced that it will add two additional weekly frequencies on Mondays and Thursdays, bringing its Munich-Windhoek schedule to five year-round flights per week.
The expansion will increase the total number of weekly Lufthansa Group flights to Windhoek from Frankfurt and Munich to 12, further strengthening air connectivity between Namibia and Europe.
Discover Airlines currently operates daily flights between Frankfurt and Windhoek, while the Munich route has operated three times a week since its launch in 2025.
Chief Commercial Officer Marco Götz said the decision was driven by consistently strong passenger demand.
“Windhoek has always been one of the most popular destinations in our network. Consistently strong booking numbers confirm that year after year. We are pleased to expand our Munich offering and provide travellers with greater flexibility when planning their trips,” Götz said.
The additional flights come as Namibia continues to attract growing interest from European leisure travellers, with airlines increasing capacity on routes serving the country.
Earlier this year, Swiss leisure carrier Edelweiss also expanded connectivity by introducing seasonal direct flights between Zurich and Windhoek during the northern hemisphere summer.
According to Discover Airlines, flights from Munich will operate every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday from April 2027.
The airline said flights will depart Munich at 21:40 and arrive in Windhoek at 07:35 the following morning, while return services will depart Windhoek at 20:35 and arrive in Munich at 06:30 the next day.
The route will be operated using Airbus A330-300 aircraft.
Windhoek was among the first destinations launched by Discover Airlines when the carrier commenced operations in 2021. Since then, the airline has steadily expanded its Namibia service as demand for the destination has grown.
The latest expansion is expected to support Namibia’s tourism sector by increasing seat capacity from one of the country’s most important source markets and providing additional travel options for both tourists and business travellers.
