With Lufthansa announcing that it will start flight service between Bengaluru and Munich from November 3, two of the three international routes from Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) which were disrupted due to COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 are back on track.
In 2019-20, it was announced with much fanfare that Bengaluru would be connected to three new destinations — Munich, Tokyo, and Seattle.
While the Bengaluru-Tokyo and the Bengaluru-Munich routes were supposed to have their inaugural flights on March 29 and March 31, 2020, respectively, the Bengaluru-Seattle route was scheduled to commence from October 2020.
