German carrier Lufthansa will offer a three-times daily service between Aberdeen and Frankfurt from October 30, using a two-class Embraer E190 aircraft.
Flights will depart Aberdeen at 0600, 0940 and 1740, arriving in Frankfurt at 0855, 1235 and 2035 respectively, with the return leg departing Frankfurt at 0755, 1600 and 2125, landing in Aberdeen at 0900, 1705 and 2230 respectively.
There are currently no direct, nonstop flights between the two cities – Lufthansa offers existing services between Edinburgh and Frankfurt, and summer seasonal flights from Edinburgh and Inverness to Dusseldorf. Subsidiary Bmi also offer several services from Aberdeen to UK destinations including London Heathrow, Manchester and Norwich.
Lufthansa says the Aberdeen-Frankfurt flights have been scheduled “to enable passengers to access the quickest onward connections to Lufthansa’s worldwide network”. One way fares will start from £49.
