On the final weekend in October, it will be time
for the clocks to go back an hour in Europe and for Munich
Airport's new winter timetable to come into effect.
For the period from Sunday, 30 October
2016 until 25 March 2017, airlines have booked slots for more than
147,000 take-offs and landings – an increase of about 6% over the
previous winter season.
This winter a total of 206 domestic and
foreign destinations will be served from Munich airport. Alongside
16 airports in Germany, travellers in Munich can choose from among
133 European cities. In the intercontinental segment, 57 routes
will be served.
The winter highlights include long-haul
connections offered by Condor to Mauritius, the East African city
of Mombasa and the island of Zanzibar, to Caribbean destinations
such as Havanna and Holguin in Cuba, Montego Bay and Bridgetown in
Barbados and Tobago, and San José in Costa Rica. Condor will offer
up to 16 flights per week from Munich to these attractive
destinations.
In the continental segment, easyjet is
launching a service to Switzerland, with five weekly departures to
Geneva. A new destination in Lufthansa's extensive winter schedule
is Marrakesh, with services departing on Fridays and Sundays to
the city in the south-west of Morocco.
This winter Utair will
operate weekend flights to St. Petersburg, with Friday, Saturday
and Sunday departures. Transavia is adding a number of attractive
beach destinations to the extensive network of routes it operates
from Munich. The Dutch-French carrier will fly to each of
Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Teneriffa on the Canary Islands
twice a week.
Transavia will also operate four weekly flights to
the Israeli port city of Tel Aviv and, with the launch of four
weekly connections to Amsterdam from mid-February, will add a new
European destination.
