Frankfurt Airport will implement its new summer flight schedule starting on 30 March, coinciding with the start of daylight saving time in Germany. The summer schedule will run through 25 October, offering a boost in both the number of flights and available seats.
A total of 83 airlines will operate out of Frankfurt, serving 275 destinations across 91 countries. The airport expects more than 4,500 weekly flights, providing approximately 829,000 seats each week—an increase of 5% compared to last year. This includes around 1,000 long-haul flights, reinforcing Frankfurt’s position as Germany’s leading international aviation hub with the most intercontinental destinations.
