Lufthansa announces Munich-Bangkok


Lufthansa has officially announced that it will be significantly increasing its Southeast Asia network out of its Munich hub as the carrier looks to regain lost market share out of the city to the Middle East carriers in particular.

LH announced the following effective April 2019:

MUC/BKK - new daily nonstop flights

MUC/SIN - increased from 5 weekly to daily using an A359

MUC/ICN - increased from 5 weekly to daily using an A359

MUC-BKK daily nonstop will hurt all the main 4 Gulf carriers a bit as BKK is one of the top 3 feeder destinations for not only MUC but also few other EU tier 1 cities. In 2017, demand on MUC-BKK-MUC round trip grew to 267,000 passengers versus 250,000 in 2016. 

MUC-ICN-MUC grew from 82,000 in 2016 to 88,000 round trip pax in 2017 whilst MUC-SIN v.v. grew from 83,000 in 2016 to 99,000 in 2017.
