Starting in March the European airline Eurowings Discover of the Lufthansa group will start direct flights between the city of Frankfurt (Germany) and Panama.

This is part of the strategies developed by the Panama Tourism Authority (ATP), in conjunction with the International Tourism Promotion Fund (Promtur), to make Panama a more competitive destination and to increase the number of tourists.

The airline will have three weekly frequencies (Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday), starting on March 27, 2022, in Airbus 330 aircraft.

Germany is among the priority markets, according to the Master Plan for Sustainable Tourism, approved by the Cabinet Council.

In 2019, 39,000 German tourists were received, which represented an injection of more than $100 million into the country; $2,863 per traveler according to the Comptroller General.
