2 Days, 2 New US Cities: Lufthansa Adds Phoenix Airbus A350 Service In Record-Breaking Route Expansion
Lufthansa will launch three weekly Munich–Phoenix flights in August 2027, adding Arizona to its network as the airline expands across the US.
Lufthansa is expanding its US network for summer 2027, confirming a new nonstop route between Munich (MUC) and Phoenix (PHX). The service will be operated with the Airbus A350-900 rather than the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner used on another newly announced US route.
The Phoenix service is planned to begin in August 2027, with flights scheduled three times per week. This adds a third destination in the United States as part of Lufthansa’s summer 2027 schedule.
The announcement comes shortly after Lufthansa revealed a separate FRA–CMH route, illustrating a broader expansion within its summer schedule. The airline’s plan targets growth across the US market.
Specific aircraft type for the Munich–Phoenix route is confirmed as the Airbus A350-900, differentiating it from theDreamliner variant used on the Columbus route. No other aircraft details or in-flight configurations are provided in the material.
