Overview
- Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG confirmed an agreement with Lufthansa to maintain the Dresden–Munich connection for the coming years.
- CEO Götz Ahmelmann called the decision an important signal for the region and credited constructive cooperation with the Lufthansa Group and the Saxony state government.
- Ahmelmann had cautioned in late October that the route was under review due to high location costs in Germany.
- Mitteldeutsche Flughafen AG operates the Leipzig/Halle and Dresden airports and is majority-owned by the states of Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.
- The operator faces financial pressure after a record €53.5 million loss last year, and prior cuts included Lufthansa dropping Leipzig–Munich for summer 2025 and Eurowings ending Leipzig–Düsseldorf.
