Lufthansa Group resumes flights from Rzeszow to Munich

Lufthansa restores the route between the Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport and the airport of Franz Josef Strauss in Munich. The connection has been suspended since June 2020 as a result of restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The first flight after the break will take place on April 23rd, 2023.

The airport in Jasionka, the farthest south-eastern passenger airport in Poland, plays a significant role in developing the Podkarpackie Voivodeship. The Bavarian transfer hub allows passengers from Poland to continue their journey around Germany or choose further European or intercontinental connections, e.g. to North America and Asia.

It is considered the best airport in Central Europe and among the world's top ten best airports. Munich airport has two terminals, of which only Lufthansa Group passengers can travel from Terminal 2.

In 2022, Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport received the title of Small Airport of the Year 2022, awarded by the international industry organization CAPA - Center for Aviation. CAPA appreciated the airport's role in activities supporting Ukraine and the significant progress that the airport has achieved in developing the network of passenger connections.

Special economic zones provide entrepreneurs with preferential development conditions, e.g. tax reliefs and facilitations for investors, and jobs for the local community.
