NAGOYA\u2014<\/strong> Lufthansa Group will significantly expand its Japan network for the Summer 2027 schedule, responding to stronger demand with new and restored services. Lufthansa (LH)<\/a> will resume its Frankfurt (FRA)\u2013Nagoya (NGO)<\/a> route three times a week from March 29, 2027, while adding a daily Frankfurt\u2013Tokyo Narita (NRT) service from March 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion will give Lufthansa Group up to 50 weekly flights to Japan during the summer season, covering Tokyo-Haneda, Tokyo-Narita, Osaka and Nagoya. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside Lufthansa, the group\u2019s hub airlines Austrian Airlines (OS)<\/a>, SWISS (LX) and ITA Airways (AZ) will contribute to the expanded schedule, strengthening the group\u2019s position among European airline groups serving Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa Restarts Nagoya Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa\u2019s Frankfurt\u2013Nagoya service will operate seasonally on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight LH736 will leave Frankfurt at 2:10 p.m. and arrive at Nagoya the following morning at 9:35 a.m., while LH737 will depart Nagoya at 11:30 a.m. and reach Frankfurt at 6:30 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route restores a direct connection between Lufthansa\u2019s main European hub and one of Japan\u2019s largest industrial centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nagoya and the wider Aichi region are particularly important to Japan\u2019s automotive and manufacturing industries, while the city also provides access to major destinations in central Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Frankfurt\u2013Nagoya route will use Lufthansa\u2019s Boeing 787-9<\/a> equipped with the airline\u2019s Allegris cabin. The aircraft has 28 Business Class<\/a> seats, 28 Premium Economy seats and 231 Economy Class seats, providing 287 seats in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa’s Daily Tokyo Narita Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa will also add a daily seasonal Frankfurt\u2013Tokyo Narita<\/a> service from March 28, giving passengers another option for reaching the Tokyo metropolitan area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flight LH710 will depart Frankfurt at 1:45 p.m. and arrive at Narita at 9:30 a.m. the following day, with LH711 leaving Narita at 11:20 a.m. and arriving in Frankfurt at 6:40 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Narita service will complement Lufthansa\u2019s existing daily flights from Frankfurt and Munich to Tokyo-Haneda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the Frankfurt\u2013Narita and Frankfurt\u2013Nagoya routes will be operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft in the Allegris configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lufthansa Group Adds Japan Capacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SWISS<\/a> will also increase its Japan operation, with up to seven weekly flights between Zurich and Tokyo-Narita during Summer 2027. The broader Lufthansa Group schedule will therefore combine services to four Japanese destinations and offer up to 50 flights per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group said the expansion reflects increased demand and will provide passengers with more travel options between Japan and Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its joint-venture partner ANA will also provide additional booking options for travelers connecting to Japan and destinations beyond the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new and resumed Lufthansa flights are already available for booking, allowing passengers to plan travel around the expanded Summer 2027 schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
