The Inverness route becomes the first nonstop connection between the cities, running weekly on Saturdays through mid-September and targeting both German tourists — Scotland's largest European visitor market — and Highland residents seeking easier access to continental Europe. Discover will be the only carrier flying nonstop from Frankfurt to all three new British destinations.
