Munich is getting closer to Puglia with the new direct Lumiwings flights to Puglia’s Foggia airport.
“Supporting the Foggia region’s economic and tourism growth”
The flights will operate from the end of May 2025 to October on Tuesdays and Saturdays, introducing a strategic connection between Germany and northern Puglia. “The launch of the new flights,- said the president of Aeroporti di Puglia, Antonio Maria Vasile, -is thanks to an ambitious and very concrete project in synergy with the Region and stakeholders to boost the Gino Lisa Airport and respond to the Dauna region’s need for international services. Thanks to these flights we are also launching the international network of Foggia airport while responding to the needs of an increasingly international clientele, boosting both inbound tourism and opportunities for locals and local businesses. Munich is a strategic gateway to the heart of Europe, and we are confident that this new route will contribute significantly to the growth of air traffic to and from the Gino Lisa Airport. Aeroporti di Puglia continues to pursue its mission to expand the network of flights, improve the connectivity of the region and support its economic and tourism growth.”
Boosting tourism to Puglia throughout the year
Gianfranco Lopane, the councillor for tourism, added: -The new direct flight from Munich to Foggia scheduled for the end of May is an additional opportunity for the international expansion of the destination Puglia. The direct flights will make it possible not only to bring the heart of Bavaria closer to the Gargano, but also to broaden accessibility to our entire region, favouring the discovery of lesser-known destinations as well as those that are already popular. We are certain that this new route will contribute to making Puglia even more attractive throughout the year, supporting our efforts to extend the tourist season and promote the authenticity of our territory.”
Boosting arrivals especially in the summer months
“We are certain that the Munich flights will give a considerable boost to tourism and connections with the north of Puglia, contributing to the development of the area, especially in the summer months,- added Dimitris Kremiotis, accountable manager Lumiwings, - The Bavaria to Foggia route is a further step towards the growth of this area that is well known in Germany. Munich is an international hub and this new route makes it possible to fly all over the world from Foggia.”
