Lufthansa Airlines will introduce nonstop flights between Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) starting October 25, 2026. The service operates five times weekly year-round, daily except Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Flight LH704 departs Frankfurt at 21:30 local time, arriving in Kuala Lumpur at 16:40 the next day. Return flight LH705 leaves Kuala Lumpur at 23:55, landing in Frankfurt at 06:00 the following morning. Schedules align with Lufthansa’s global network through its Frankfurt hub, facilitating connections across Europe, the Middle East, and North America.
The route uses Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft with 287 seats in a three-class configuration, featuring the airline’s new Allegris cabin product. This marks Lufthansa’s first direct service to Malaysia and its fourth Southeast Asian destination, joining Bangkok, Singapore, and Phuket.
From Lufthansa Group home markets including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and Italy, it will be the only nonstop operator to Malaysia. The expansion targets growth in the region, where Malaysia hosted 42.2 million international visitors in 2025, the highest in Southeast Asia. Germany is Malaysia’s top EU trading partner, with over 700 German companies operating there.
Lufthansa Airlines CEO Jens Ritter stated: “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.” Tickets are now available for booking.
