Eurowings expands services and routes in early 2026

Germany

Fast onboard internet, a top employer award, flexible flight vouchers and a new summer route from Graz underline Eurowings’ focus on connectivity and quality

Eurowings is entering 2026 with a series of developments spanning technology, employer branding, customer services and route expansion. From high-speed internet in the air to new travel options from regional airports, the value airline is strengthening its positioning for both passengers and employees.

High-speed internet above the clouds

From 2026, passengers flying with Eurowings will benefit from significantly faster onboard internet. As part of a Lufthansa Group-wide initiative, all existing aircraft and future deliveries will be equipped with high-speed connectivity. This will allow streaming, cloud-based working and other data-intensive applications during the flight.

The upgrade will be implemented in cooperation with Starlink, a leading provider of inflight connectivity. Using satellite technology, the system enables an online experience comparable to that on the ground. The rollout is scheduled to begin in the second half of 2026 and will cover not only flights from major Eurowings bases such as Berlin, Cologne/Bonn, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Palma de Mallorca and Stuttgart, but the entire route network.

Top employer recognition for Eurowings

Eurowings has been named a Leading Employer 2026, ranking among the top one per cent of employers in Germany. The distinction is based on an independent meta-study that analysed around 500,000 companies and evaluated data from more than 300 sources, including employee reviews, external audits and social media analyses.

The award reflects Eurowings’ commitment to fostering a professional working environment built on appreciation and development. Information on career opportunities and entry paths at Eurowings is available via the airline’s official channels.

Flight vouchers as a flexible gift option

Eurowings is expanding its product offering with flight vouchers that can be used as gifts. Customers can personalise the vouchers and select from different designs, making them suitable for occasions such as birthdays, weddings or as a special thank-you. The vouchers are designed to offer flexibility while encouraging memorable travel experiences.

New summer route from Graz to Olbia

Eurowings is also expanding its summer 2026 flight programme from Graz. From 22 May 2026, the airline will operate a once-weekly nonstop service to Olbia on the Italian island of Sardinia. With a flight time of around 90 minutes, the route provides quick access to one of the Mediterranean’s most popular holiday destinations.

With the addition of Olbia, Eurowings’ summer offering from Styria will increase to twelve routes. The programme combines leisure destinations with key German cities including Berlin, Düsseldorf and Hamburg, further strengthening Graz’s connectivity within the Eurowings network.
