Lufthansa is increasing its operations in St. Louis, MO, by expanding its service from three weekly flights to five weekly flights. This seasonal increase will run from June 1st, 2026, through October 23rd, 2026. Flights beginning in June will operate on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

"We are deeply grateful for St. Louis's exceptional community support over the past four years, which has enabled Lufthansa to fulfill our mission of connecting people, cultures, and economies by successfully linking Lambert International Airport and all of Missouri to the group’s global network," said Dirk Janzen, Lufthansa Group Vice President for Passenger Sales of the Americas. He added, “The additional frequencies demonstrate our strong commitment to this route and will further strengthen connections between the region's world-class academic institutions and Fortune 500 companies with Europe and beyond.

“We are glad to see this increase in service by Lufthansa on the fourth anniversary of non-stop service to Frankfurt,” said Airport Director and CEO Rhonda Hamm-Niebruegge. “The reported loads on the Frankfurt service have remained high from the inaugural flight back in June of 2022 and this is an acknowledgement of the support our regional travelers have shown to Lufthansa.”
