Winter flight operations commence at Leipzig/Halle Airport
Leipzig/Halle Airport has unveiled its expanded winter flight schedule for the upcoming 2025/26 season, featuring new and increased connections. One of the highlights includes long-haul flights to Chicago and Houston, set to commence from December 2025 [2][5].
The winter flight schedule, announced by Mitteldeutsche Airport AG, includes 16 destinations in total. Some of the popular destinations include Hurghada, Tenerife, Mallorca, Fuerteventura, and Antalya. Up to 135 flights per week are planned for the winter season [1].
However, the schedule does not provide information about the frequency of flights to each destination, specific airlines, or flight times. This means that while we know there will be flights to these destinations, the exact number of flights per day or week, the airline operating the flights, and the specific departure and arrival times remain unknown [1].
In contrast, information about the winter flight schedule for Dresden Airport was not readily available. The schedule does not mention any new destinations, and details about the frequency of flights to each destination are also not provided [1].
It's worth noting that Lufthansa's regional hub at Munich is significantly expanding its winter schedule. However, this primarily concerns Munich and southern Germany, and there is no direct reference to Leipzig/Halle or Dresden's winter schedules beyond the indicated flights to Chicago and Houston from Leipzig/Halle [1].
In summary, Leipzig/Halle Airport has announced an expanded winter flight schedule for the 2025/26 season, featuring new long-haul connections to Chicago and Houston. Details about the frequency, specific airlines, and flight times for these routes are yet to be disclosed. For Dresden Airport, no concrete details about the winter flight schedule for 2025/26 are available at this time.
For those requiring exact frequency, aircraft types, or flight durations, it is recommended to check the official airports’ or airlines’ winter timetable publications closer to the season.
