Hamburg Airport presents the 2019 summer timetable

The new summer timetable enters operation at Hamburg Airport on 31 March 2019. It is valid until 26 October 2019. Around 70 airlines are flying to approx. 140 destinations. During the summer timetable period, an average of 380,000 passengers per week fly on around 3,000 flights — approx. 3 percent more passengers and flights than in the last summer timetable period. Three completely new destinations are joining Hamburg’s route network: Zadar, Krakow and Kalamata. On routes to another ten destinations, passengers will now have the choice of additional airlines.

“Together with our airline partners, we are once again offering our passengers a diverse range of routes with attractive new destinations for the 2019 summer season,” says Katja Bromm, Press Officer at Hamburg Airport. “As in previous summers, swimming breaks in Spain are very popular, but there is also very strong demand on flights to Greece, Turkey and Egypt. With more flights, more destinations and more variety, I am certain that our new summer programme will be well received by the people of northern Germany.”

New destinations in Hamburg Airport’s route network
Flights to three completely new destinations serve to extend the Hamburg Airport route network from the start of the summer timetable period. Two of them are being launched by Ryanair. Starting on 1 April, the Irish airline is operating two flights per week, on Mondays and Fridays, to Zadar on Croatia’s Adriatic coast. One day later, on 2 April, Ryanair is launching a new service to Krakow. There will be three connections per week between the southern Polish city and Hamburg, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
And Condor is also adding a new destination to the Hamburg route network, with a weekly service to Kalamata on the Greek Peloponnese peninsula every Friday from 3 May.
