Lufthansa and its subsidiary Austrian Airlines are expanding their winter network with the introduction of three new routes to Lapland. Starting in November 2024, Lufthansa will initiate scheduled services from Frankfurt to Rovaniemi, operating twice weekly on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Austrian Airlines will follow suit in December 2024 and January 2025, respectively, with weekly flights from Vienna to Kittilä and Ivalo. These new connections will cater to the growing winter tourism in Lapland, offering travelers convenient access to the region’s pristine landscapes and festive experiences.
