Lufthansa Airlines will launch a new nonstop service between Kuala Lumpur and Frankfurt beginning October 25, 2026, marking the airline’s return to Malaysia with direct flights to Germany’s largest aviation hub. The route will operate five times weekly throughout the year, with flights scheduled daily except Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Flight LH704 will depart Frankfurt at 9:30 PM and arrive in Kuala Lumpur at 4:40 PM local time the following day. The return service, LH705, departs Kuala Lumpur at 11:55 PM and arrives in Frankfurt at 6:00 AM the following morning.
According to the airline, the flight schedule has been coordinated with Lufthansa’s wider global network through Frankfurt, allowing onward connections to destinations across Europe and North America.
The Kuala Lumpur-Frankfurt service will be operated using the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, currently the most modern aircraft type in Lufthansa’s fleet. The aircraft is configured with 287 seats across three classes and features the airline’s new Allegris cabin concept, which introduces redesigned seating and upgraded in-flight amenities.
Lufthansa Airlines CEO Jens Ritter said the new route reflects the airline’s focus on expanding its presence in Southeast Asia. “With the new nonstop connection to Kuala Lumpur and the deployment of our state-of-the-art Dreamliner, we are creating ideal conditions to participate in the growth in Southeast Asia,” he said.
The new service will make Kuala Lumpur Lufthansa Group’s fourth destination in Southeast Asia, joining Bangkok, Singapore and Phuket. Flights are now open for booking ahead of the route’s launch in October 2026.
