Eurowings Europe (EW)

Eurowings is significantly expanding its network for winter 2026-2027. From Berlin-Brandenburg, the airline will increase its offering to 38 destinations. It will add Rome, Bologna and Kuusamo in Finland. It will also retain London Heathrow and Nice during the winter.

The airline will strengthen several leisure routes. Bilbao and Porto will have two flights per week during the winter season. Lisbon, Sarajevo and Jerez de la Frontera will also join the programme in December.

Eurowings will also launch Baghdad flights from Berlin and Düsseldorf. The airline will add a seasonal air connection between Prague and Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland. This destination is intended for winter holidays in northern Finland.

On board, Eurowings will also introduce a new Premium BIZ Seat on certain routes. The airline is thus expanding its offering, both across its network and in terms of cabin comfort.

Eurowings is launching its “Name a Plane” competition on 21 September 2026. The airline wants to recognise four “everyday heroes” among relatives, neighbours, volunteers or friends. Candidates must submit a first name and explain, in a few lines, the help provided by that person. The initiative is open to adults residing in Europe.

Entries can be submitted on the airline’s dedicated website until 11 October 2026. A panel of judges will then select four stories. The winners will be notified individually. Their stories will then be published in December 2026.

Their first names will be displayed on four Eurowings Airbus A320 aircraft. These aircraft will then operate across the airline’s European network. For travellers, the initiative gives several aircraft a more human identity, while creating a participatory campaign with a visible presence at airports.

Eurowings is stepping up its game. The airline is now rolling out its new Premium BIZ seats, designed by the Italian company Geven, on 8 of its Airbus A320neo aircraft. Unlike the traditional European configuration (with the middle seat blocked), this new product features an exclusive 2x2 layout and provides genuine physical separation and enhanced privacy in the forward cabin with an adjustable footrest. With this innovation, the low-cost airline is targeting its longest medium-haul routes, such as the Berlin–Dubai route. In addition to superior ergonomic comfort, passengers benefit from a dedicated premium service: a hot meal served on china, a comfort kit and individual USB ports.

Eurowings is expanding its 2025–2026 winter flight schedule with new medium-haul routes, including a direct Düsseldorf–Dubai flight operated 3 times a week. The airline offers up to 28 weekly flights to Dubai from its main European bases, including Cologne/Bonn, Berlin, Hanover and Stuttgart. It is also expanding its air network in the Middle East with a new Stuttgart–Amman route, while strengthening its presence in North Africa with several direct flights to Marrakech from Hanover, Salzburg, Stuttgart and Prague. By targeting these medium-haul destinations, Eurowings aims to meet the growing demand from leisure travellers and families flying to cities in the Gulf and the Middle East, while optimising its business model.
