Lufthansa Group resumes flights to and from Riyadh, Amman, and Beirut

(Update: 13 and 28 October 2026)

Lufthansa Group recently decided to gradually resume flights to the Middle East. This decision follows a comprehensive safety and security assessment.

Eurowings resumed its flights to Beirut (Lebanon) on 1 July 2026.

As a next step, Austrian Airlines and Lufthansa will now move up the resumption of their flights to Amman (Jordania) and Riyadh (Saudi-Arabia) to an earlier date. Eurowings will also resume flights to Amman in the 2026/2027 winter schedule.

• Frankfurt (FRA)–Riyadh (RUH): three times a week*
• Vienna (VIE)–Amman (AMM): three times a week
• Frankfurt (FRA)–Amman (AMM): six times a week**
• Stuttgart (STR)–Amman (AMM): once a week starting 7 November 2026

* Due to current developments in the Middle East, Lufthansa has suspended flights to Riyadh up to and including 18 November 2026.

** Lufthansa had originally planned to resume its Frankfurt-Amman service on 25 October 2026. Following recently issued requirements by the German authorities, Lufthansa will now resume the service at a later date, which has yet to be determined.

Changes may occur for individual airlines due to the dynamic situation and will be communicated accordingly.     

The Lufthansa Group is continuously monitoring and assessing the security situation in the Middle East and is in close contact with the authorities. The safety of passengers and crews is always the top priority for the Lufthansa Group.
