Airline to launch nonstop flights from Ohio to Germany

Ohio will get its first nonstop flight to Europe next year when Lufthansa launches service between John Glenn Columbus International Airport in Columbus and Frankfurt, Germany. The new service will connect travelers with Lufthansa’s Frankfurt hub, which offers connections to more than 130 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.

The route will begin in May 2027 and operate three days a week, according to an announcement Monday from the Columbus Regional Airport Authority.
