Debrecen Flight Unaffected by Lufthansa Strike
The organization representing Lufthansa’s pilots and flight attendants, UFO, has announced a 24-hour strike for Thursday.
According to their statement, the strike will affect all flights departing from German airports, meaning that passengers traveling with the German airline should expect cancellations and delays.
According to the schedule, Lufthansa is also set to operate a flight to Debrecen on Thursday. The aircraft is expected to arrive from Munich at 6:00 p.m. and depart back at 6:55 p.m.
Debrecen International Airport Ltd., the operator of Debrecen Airport, told Dehir.hu that Lufthansa has not informed them of any cancellation of the flight, so they are preparing to receive and dispatch the aircraft, although the situation remains uncertain due to the strike.
Lufthansa launched its Debrecen–Munich route in 2016, which was suspended for a considerable period due to the coronavirus pandemic, but traffic has recently been increasing again. In 2024, Lufthansa switched to larger aircraft in Debrecen, and from last April, instead of three weekly flights, the airline has been operating five flights per week between Debrecen and Munich.
Lufthansa’s flight attendants and pilots are striking because they are dissatisfied with retirement conditions.
Besides Munich, passengers can fly to London from Debrecen Airport with Wizz Air. It has already been confirmed that next year flights to Cyprus will resume with Wizz Air, as the route is included in the 2026 schedule following the winter break. According to the schedule, flights will restart on April 2 next year, and unlike this year, there will be three flights per week instead of two, operating on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. According to the timetable, the last flight will depart on October 24, after which the route will again go on winter break.
It was also recently announced that Wizz Air will restart three Debrecen routes in the 2026 summer schedule period.
From March 31, 2026, Israel’s economic and cultural center, Tel Aviv, will once again be accessible, with Wizz Air operating flights three times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
From May 2, flights to Eindhoven will resume; the Dutch city’s airport will be accessible twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays, with Wizz Air. The third returning route is Istanbul: from June, the low-cost airline plans to operate flights to Turkey’s most populous city three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Further good news is that from April 5, instead of three, four Wizz Air flights per week will operate from Debrecen to London.
