German airline Lufthansa waved off the first flight from OR Tambo International Airport, with one of the airline's new Airbus A350-900's landing at 06:45 and then departing at 08:20 for Munich on September 3. This marks the resumption of the direct, nonstop route after it fell away in 2005. Lufthansa will fly out of OR Tambo International Airport three times a week with day flights to Munich, while the flights from Munich are night flights.
