Lufthansa announces the end of the Paderborn-Munich connection!

The flight connection between the Paderborn-Lippstadt Airport and Munich will be stopped after Lufthansa exit at the end of May 2025. The reason for this measure was given the too low capacity utilization and the high costs of the connection. Despite these setbacks, however, the connection to Munich does not fall by the wayside: a new regional initiative, known as Skyhub Pad, has the goal of organizing replacement traffic.

SkyHub Pad, a private operating company, was founded by local companies and private individuals who are financially committed to maintaining the important air connection. From June 2025, flights from Danish machines from Airline Danish Air Transport (DAT) via Büren-Ahden are to be organized. This initiative is supported by Paderborn Airport and could help travelers to continue to be able to easily get to the Munich turntop.

Details on the initiative Skyhub Pad

The foundation of Skyhub Pad is an important step to secure local air traffic connections for the region. Talks with the Danish airline Dat took place a few weeks ago; The exact details of the new flight connection will be announced on January 30, 2025 in Ahden. This proactive measure could significantly reduce the effects of Lufthansa setting and thus continue to ensure the accessibility of the Paderborn region.

In addition, it is emphasized that despite the challenge caused by the Lufthansa setting, flights from Paderborn continue to exist to an intercontinental turning cross. This shows that Paderborn Airport plays a central role in the regional traffic structure and continues to strive to ensure the connection to international goals.
