Germany

From 26 October 2025, Lufthansa will once again be flying non-stop from Munich to Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia.

The flight will depart three times a week at 9.45 p.m. LH640 is scheduled to land in Riyadh at 4.50 a.m. local time the following day. The return flight to Germany is scheduled to depart at 6:25 a.m. and arrive in Munich at 10:25 a.m. This gives passengers ideal connections to the global Lufthansa network via the Munich hub. The aircraft used will be one of the world's most modern long-haul aircraft, the Airbus A350-900, with 293 seats in three classes.

This year, Lufthansa is celebrating the 65th anniversary of its first flight to Saudi Arabia. Together with Eurowings and ITA Airways, it will be flying to Riyadh, Dammam and Jeddah. These three Lufthansa Group airlines will offer their passengers a total of 22 weekly departures to Saudi Arabia in future. In total, the airlines of the Lufthansa Group fly to the region more than 120 times a week.

Riyadh is the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with a population of just under eight million. The city is growing steadily and is home to numerous universities, museums and monuments. The metropolis is centrally located in the interior of the country, surrounded by desert, and has been the capital of Saudi Arabia since the country's independence in 1932. Historically, it is a very important stopover on the pilgrimage routes to Mecca and Medina, the most important pilgrimage sites in Islam. In the future, Riyadh will host major events, such as the annual ‘Riyadh Season’ in winter, Saudi Arabia's largest festival. The World Expo will take place in Riyadh in 2030, as will the FIFA Men's World Cup in 2034.
