Eurowings is taking
off from the capital - just in time for the world's largest travel trade fair,
ITB: Flight EW8536 to Malaga will open a new chapter for Berlin Brandenburg
Airport (BER) on 26 March at 5.35 am. Just in time for the Easter holidays in
Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany's largest holiday airline is significantly
expanding its range of attractive direct flight destinations at BER. Travelers
will then be able to choose from 30 destinations with Eurowings, twice as many
as before.
As part of the
largest network expansion of the year, Eurowings is particularly expanding its
services to Northern Europe: From the end of March 2023, the Lufthansa Group
airline will connect the German capital non-stop with Gothenburg, Helsinki and Copenhagen.
Heading south, Eurowings will in future offer direct flights from Berlin to the
new destinations Graz, Ibiza, Nice, Porto and Zakynthos.
At the same time, the airline is significantly increasing its connections to
existing destinations: for example, the most popular island among Germans
- Mallorca - will be served up to three times a day in future, for a
total of around 20 times a week. The portfolio also includes more direct
flights to the Canary Islands, such as Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Tenerife.
"Our growth in
Berlin is an example of the first summer without travel restrictions and
contact bans. Air traffic and tourism are breathing a sigh of relief – finally
holidays, finally ITB again," says Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof ahead of the
start of the world's largest travel trade fair in the Berlin exhibition halls.
"As Germany's largest holiday airline, we belong to the capital, because
it is an absolute tourist magnet and one of the most exciting major cities in
Europe. But we also bring a lot to the capital. Passengers from Berlin and
Brandenburg can look forward to numerous new Eurowings destinations that are at
the top of the wish list of German vacationers.
With an expansion of
almost 130 per cent (measured in terms of the number of seats offered),
Eurowings is also responding to the withdrawal of international competitors,
who have significantly reduced their presence in the German market in the
context of the pandemic. Accordingly, Eurowings is expanding its leading
position in the German market, doubling its commitment in the capital and will
have six aircraft based at BER in future instead of the previous three.
The Lufthansa Group
airline is now the market leader at the airports in Düsseldorf, Hamburg,
Cologne/Bonn and Stuttgart. Eurowings accordingly connects Berlin with high
frequency with its bases in west and south Germany. The BER programme of
Eurowings is supplemented by flights in the growing segment of family and home
visits, for example to Beirut/Lebanon.
This is how Eurowings
will be flying from BER in summer 2023:
Northern Europe
Denmark: Copenhagen
Finland: Helsinki
Swweden: Gothenburg,
Stockholm
Central Europe
Germany: Düsseldorf,
Cologne/Bonn, Stuttgart
