Last week, Lufthansa announced brand new service between Frankfurt and St. Louis beginning on June 1st, 2022. This is huge news as it marks the first time in nearly 20 years that STL will have nonstop service to continental Europe. St. Louis Lambert Airport has been struggling over the recent years with international service, so this is huge news for the city and airport. You might be wondering HOW of all places did St. Louis, Missouri get Lufthansa?? In this video I explain why Lufthansa decided to launch this new service. Hopefully by the end of this video, it will all make sense! Congratulations St. Louis and thank you Lufthansa!

This is my home airport! To see Lufthansa serve STL is amazing!
This is also my home airport
As a Bosnian in STL you are 100% correct in your assessment. I will be on this flight when i visit family back home albeit I'm actually looking to fly to Dubrovnik
It’s important to remember that what’s really the bread and butter of this route is cargo. The many German as well as other large companies with a market in Europe will benefit with direct service for their cargo.
The first time I ever flew was on one of TWA's non-stop 747's from St. Louis to Hawaii. Weird thinking about how busy that field used to be
Dude me too! D concourse!
Great video! Well done! I look forward to catching some of this action when it starts
Awesome informative video. You literally answered my questions 😄
How about this! Great research, and this new route makes much more sense now! If the pandemic continues to get better, I feel that this route will do well. Great video!
Glad you learned some good stuff! And yeah I think it will play out just like LH’s Austin flight. Hoping for strong loads.
I am so exited about this!!
I'm from STL and live here. I'm excited for Lufthansa.
Very exciting news for STL. Hope it brings more business to the city and the first of many new airlines.
Exciting for STL!
I’m pretty sure there are actually four international destinations in four different countries, not counting Frankfurt. There are the ones in Mexico and the Dominican Republic, but also a seasonal one to Jamaica and then an Air Canada flight to Toronto.
Very excited about the Lufthansa flight, I’ll be taking it in June! STL-FRA-CDG Coming back, it’ll be so nice to be able to leave Europe and just come right back home to STL.
According to the airport director the flights are averaging 89% loads through August.
Flown this route a few times now. Always full and good service, if a bit cramped. Also departing Lambert and arriving directly in Germany is a really nice experience.
Lufthansa has been expanding their service quite a bit since the pandemic. This year they’re adding flights to Raleigh/Durham, Minneapolis from Frankfurt and Seattle from their Munich hub. Condor is getting in on the action too with the start of seasonal flights to San Antonio. Not sure about Minneapolis or Seattle, but Raleigh is a city that has been attracting a lot of new business and residents for some time now so it makes sense for Lufthansa to seize the opportunity and provide a robust economic impact to Raleigh (along with Minneapolis and Seattle). Not to mention the ethnic communities in those cities to soon be able to more easily visit family and relatives in their country of origin. Also I gotta say Lufthansa is really clinging on to their 747s for dear life.
British Caledonian Airways used to fly nonstop from St. Louis to London Gatwick back in the 1980s. The service began with 707 aircraft, and eventually used DC-10s.
I used to fly TW to Gatwick and it was great. Glad Lufthansa came and cant wait to fly them.
I’m really happy to learn this - you’re going to see the other alliances come into the picture and STL Authority knows this. It’s going to stimulate the market there. These smaller cities like Indy, Kansas City, etc are also grossly underserved when it comes to international markets.
I think another reason Lufthansa took this route is the German heritage, history and immigrants that STL has! Wonderful video man!
awesome that means I can make a layover in a well known airport such as Frankfurt... gonna keep this behind my mind for the next upcoming season hockey game
Really excited for this route! I'm also really excited for the new MUC-SAN with the 350 ;)
That will be exciting as well!
Has LH swapped FRA for MUC hub with any cities other than San Diego? Interesting move.
I’m excited about that. I might drive to Lambert to see that flight arrive when it starts
Me too! Such an insane announcement.
The runway closest to the terminal at one time was one of the busiest in the country. Soon after the buyout with AA. AA pilots did not like how TWA use of the taxiway crossing while acft was either taking off or landing. In the past I took a TWA flight from FRA to STL on a 757.
Awesome. I wish Pittsburgh could get service to Frankfurt back. Condor suspended it during covid and it hasn’t looked to be returning
Lufthansa is now going to fly from Frankfurt to Liverpool next year as well
I went on the cell phone lot just to watch that plane land happy to see a big bird in my home town airport.
The main thing for any airline is butts in the seats, whether that be business people or tourists. San Antonio airport gave similar incentives to Air Canada and I think British Airways, but the passenger market just wasn't there. Both airlines have since ramped up their flight service 75 miles up the hwy at Austins Airport.
I'm booked on the inaugural 😁
You forgot to mention British Caledonian’s service from St. Louis to London Gatwick in the 1980s.
I really want them to fly back to Jeddah. The last flight from FRA to JED was on February 2020 😢 I hope they start flying to my home airport! They used the A330-300 in this route. There is hope that they will open this route in March next year Inshaa Allah. Great video as usual, thanks :)
Thank you, Insha’Allah they will be back in Jeddah. They are already back to RUH, so hopefully soon back to JED.
@@ASAviation they never stopped service to RUH, they even operate daily flights to Dammam! Even KLM, I really hope they come back to JED. KLM operate daily flights to RUH and Dammam too. BA currently flies to Riyadh only, they flew to jeddah daily before terminating the destination, they operated about 5 flights in November and they re-terminated the destination, I don't know why? And Garuda Indonesia stopped flying to jeddah since April maybe, even now international flights are open between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, but currently only Saudia is the only airline flying between Indonesia and KSA. I hope you do well in your exams ;) Greetings
I feel it will do EXCELLENT here in St.Louis
Great video man! Now I can fly to Pakistan by: ICT-STL-FRA-KHI I’m so excited for this new route!
Thank you! And FRA-KHI? Lufthansa doesn’t fly to Karachi as of now.
@@ASAviation Oh yea whoops should've rechecked that
This is good news for STL. I remember it's heyday.
Lots of Indians, Pakistan and Bangladesh, Sri Lankans go via Frankfurt to their country. They don’t have to go to Chicago anymore!
I will probably fly this route myself.
Apparently many U.S. cities have inked similar deals with Lufthansa. Too bad these routes can't support themselves, but perhaps will grow enough for LH to serve without subsidies.
Btw, i thought Frankfort was a very well organized airport and would not hesitate to fly into it again. We took a nice viking cruise and flew back from there and it was great.
nice
Does anyone know if Delta plans to restart IND-CDG in 2022 ? Similar situation with pharmaceutical companies filling the planes.
I’m not sure about this. Delta plans to resume CVG-CDG in March but no word on Indianapolis sadly. I want this route back soon too!
Yah Milwaukee was trying to get that route
wow, this is really a surprise. i was at the airport this Sunday and it looked pretty darn run down, nothing compared to large airports like ORD. very exciting news.
Sadly yeah STL has been pretty run down since the American and TWA hubs closed down. Definitely needs a major overhaul but it’s great to see some hope for the airport with LH.
I was just at Lambert in St. Louis. It was not "run down" and it was packed with passengers.
@@ASAviation obviously you haven't been to STL Lambert. I was just there and it was not "pretty run down". It was clean, newly-remodeled and had tons of passengers. You need to check out some recent videos.
@@EsiJua I just flew from Lambert in August. Certain parts I meant to say are abandoned and not in good shape.
I’m curious to see how they do
I clicked on this so fast. This is crazy
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it too.
@@ASAviation It’s really cool, hopefully Memphis is next
10 hour flight going to St Louis
If St Louis makes the same deal to other international carriers like they did for Lufthansa they will come here too.
Yes but those other carriers also need to have reasons in STL that would draw them there, much like LH did.
The question why? Both places into beer I guess
9 hour flight going to Frankfurt
RDU-KEF?
Could happen.
@@ASAviation it’s been announced, seasonal, 4x weekly on Icelandair beginning May 12
@@GoalHornGeek Oh that's right. I remember seeing that announced. Will be nice for RDU along with the AA London service.
@@ASAviation I can’t wait for these services to come back! RDU-LHR scheduled for late March I believe, RDU-CDG in July or August
What about STL TO Manila non stop
LOL
Since lufthansa came i think the entire lufthansa group should come like Swiss Eurowings and Austria
Bayer is pronounced bear 🐻.
It didn't happen
I already can tell that this is not going to last
Well here they are
That’s cool
Wondering if these LH expansions reach Asia 🤔
Lufthansa Team Visited Pakistan last Month but Nothing Happened
Duaa kar yaar 😂 need them in KHI
@@ASAviation Ha na Bhai. Pehlay ap to Pakistan aoo naa ;)
@@huzaifaamirofficial777 bhola tha January mai aa raha hoon
@@ASAviation Yay. That would be great bro...
