Lufthansa’s Munich–Fez Route Dropped Before It Could Launch
Announced in the spring to connect Munich directly with Fez from October 25, a new route to Morocco has been removed from the winter schedule. Discover Airlines, a Lufthansa Group subsidiary, was due to operate the service every Sunday until the end of March 2027.
Travelers counting on a direct connection between Munich and Fez will have to rethink their plans. Discover Airlines has removed the new service from its flight schedule for winter 2026-2027. The German airline was due to launch the route on October 25, with one weekly round trip.
The project had been the subject of an official announcement on March 9, 2026. Discover Airlines had presented Munich–Fez as the only direct connection between the Bavarian capital and the Moroccan imperial city. The service was scheduled to operate every Sunday until the end of March 2027, using an Airbus A320.
The original schedule called for a 10:35 a.m. departure from Munich, arriving in Fez at 2 p.m. The return flight was due to leave Morocco at 2:50 p.m. and land in Germany at 6 p.m. The two flights were numbered 4Y230 and 4Y231, respectively.
The launch was part of a broader expansion of the Lufthansa Group’s services to Morocco. Discover Airlines had also announced two weekly flights between Frankfurt and Agadir, on Mondays and Fridays. With these new destinations and its existing routes to Marrakech, the airline initially aimed to operate sixteen flights a week to Morocco.
The network expansion had also been presented as part of a strengthened partnership with the Moroccan National Tourism Office (ONMT), signed at the ITB Berlin trade fair in March. Discover Airlines was then selling its new routes on its own website, Lufthansa’s website and through travel agencies.
