Lufthansa announces a new, direct flight serving Heraklion, Crete and Frankfurt. The new route will begin on April 13, 2019 and will be operated every Saturday. The flight will depart from Heraklion at 17:00 and will arrive in Frankfurt at 19:15. The flight Frankfurt – Heraklion will take place on the same day at 12:10 from Frankfurt and will arrive in Heraklion at 16:15.
The route Heraklion – Frankfurt is once again included in the Lufthansa network after 18 years and is supplementing the already existing Lufthansa route Munich – Heraklion.
"Heraklion is the modern economic center of Crete and a city with a rich cultural tradition. At the same time it is one of the most popular Greek destinations, as it offers rich experiences that satisfy the preferences of every visitor. As of 2015 Lufthansa serves Heraklion from its Hub in Munich, today, we are pleased to announce that the cosmopolitan capital of Crete is being added to the flight schedule from Frankfurt Airport for the next summer. This decision results from the Group's positive evaluation of further tourism development in Heraklion as a reference point for Cretan tourism. Passengers will be now able to connect to our largest hub in Frankfurt and onward to over 270 destinations in 105 countries. This is another success for the Lufthansa Group in Greece and we are looking forward to welcoming our customers in the Spring" said Konstantinos Tzevelekos, General Manager Passenger Sales for Greece and Cyprus, Lufthansa Group.
Tickets are already available for reservation either through partner travel agencies or via Lufthansa’s website, lufthansa.com.
