is the airline with the best price-performance ratio in Germany. In cooperation
with Handelsblatt, the opinion research institute YouGov has selected the
winners for 2024: Eurowings takes first place in the “Mobility & Tourism”
category. The award once again underlines the successful repositioning of
Eurowings from a former low-cost airline from NRW to a value airline for
Europe. With high customer satisfaction ratings and a portfolio of high-quality
services at fair prices, Eurowings now clearly sets itself apart from low-cost
airlines. More information on the ranking (German only)
