Sky Harbor to offer first nonstop service between Phoenix and Munich

Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said the flights to Munich will give travelers access to a German hub that lets them connect to cities across Africa, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

“The addition of this new nonstop service from Phoenix to Munich is a win for our residents, our businesses and the community as a whole,” Gallego said in a Tuesday announcement. “Phoenix Sky Harbor is one of the best airports in the country, and Phoenix is a destination of choice for international tourism and investment.”

The new service will have 293 seats on an Airbus A350-900.

According to Sky Harbor, this new service will add $81.2 million in annual economic impact to metro Phoenix. The airport has an economic impact of more than $44 billion annually and services about 1,300 aircraft and 140,000 passengers each day.
