Eurowings is relying
heavily on Airbus A321 aircraft in the summer, internally nicknamed the
”Mallorca Airbus”: Germany's No. 1 holiday carrier will deploy Airbus' largest
medium-haul jet specifically to top holiday destinations in order to better
serve the high demand to Palma de Mallorca, Crete or the Canary Islands, for
example. With around 230 seats, the A321 can carry about a third more
passengers than its A320 family relative.
The first A321ceo,
which is coming from Lufthansa as part of a fleet swap, is already wearing
Eurowings colours. After the end of the transformation work, six A321ceo are to
be successively deployed in Eurowings flight operations from May 2023. In
addition, four brand-new Airbus A321neo will join the fleet by the end of 2023.
They are part of a roughly 1.5-billion-euro investment package in 13 jets of
the Airbus ”neo” family. The ”neo” are considered the most modern, efficient
and by far the quietest medium-haul jets in the world. All A321s will be
operated by Eurowings in a 16-seat BIZclass configuration.
2023: Comeback of the
freedom to travel
With the additional
capacity, Eurowings is responding to the noticeably strong pent-up demand –
especially for holiday travel. For the first time, there will be a year without
travel restrictions, and there will no longer be a test and mask requirement.
For many travellers, a reliably plannable and, above all, relaxed holiday was
not possible for years – this is different in 2023 with the comeback of freedom
to travel and also reflected in the increasingly long-term bookings showing
confidence in air travel.
With more than 140
destinations in 37 countries, Eurowings offers an attractive flight programme
with a total of more than 380 different routes, seamlessly continuing the
pre-Covid travel season 2019. Holiday favourites in 2023 will again be Greece,
Italy and Spain: Eurowings offers direct flights to around 50 regions in these
countries only. The clear front-runner remains the Balearic Island of Mallorca,
which Eurowings flies to more frequently than any other destination, with
around 400 flights a week from over 20 airports.
