Starting in mid-2027, Discover Airlines will begin direct flights from Edmonton International Airport straight to Frankfurt Airport. As part of the Lufthansa Group, the carrier plans to run three weekly trips between the two locations, kicking off on June 1, 2027.
This direct link will let travelers from Alberta reach Germany without transfers and then easily continue to destinations across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Dirk Janzen, the Lufthansa Group’s vice president for passenger sales in the Americas, called the expansion to Edmonton an exciting step, highlighting the group’s growing presence in Canada.
