Leipzig And Dresden Add Summer Flights Across Europe
Airports in Leipzig/Halle and Dresden will introduce their summer flight schedules between 29 March and 24 October 2026, adding more holiday routes across Europe and the Mediterranean. Leipzig/Halle adds Bodrum on the Turkish Aegean coast, served weekly by Ajet from late June. Popular summer routes include Antalya, Mallorca, Heraklion and Hurghada, all operating with frequent weekly departures throughout the season.
Additional special flights organised by tour operator momento by sz-Reisen will connect Leipzig/Halle with Sicily, the Aeolian Islands and Santorini in spring, followed by Calabria and Ischia in autumn. The airport also maintains links with major international hubs, including Frankfurt, Istanbul and Vienna, allowing onward travel to long-haul destinations through connecting services operated by Lufthansa, Turkish Airlines and Austrian Airlines.
Dresden Airport will introduce a new seasonal route to Bolzano in South Tyrol, operated by SkyAlps twice weekly. The flight takes around 90 minutes and connects Saxony with the Dolomites region. Services to Palma de Mallorca will also increase, with more than 240 departures planned during the season. Charter programmes include destinations such as Barcelona, Cyprus, Sardinia, Zakynthos, the Amalfi Coast, Menorca, Montenegro and Jersey.

The summer schedule adds more flights to Mediterranean beaches, mountain regions and coastal cities with historic centres. Bodrum and Heraklion are among the destinations often chosen for summer breaks by the sea. The new Bolzano flight makes the Dolomites easier to reach, an area known for walking and cycling routes. Charter flights also increase options across southern Italy, several Greek islands and parts of the Spanish coast in the warmer months.
The broader range of routes highlights the continued role of regional airports as starting points for both holidays and connecting journeys. More frequent flights to well-known summer destinations can make planning simpler, especially when travelling without relying on larger hubs. The mix of leisure routes and connections to global networks reflects steady demand for seasonal travel and varied trip lengths across Europe and nearby regions.
