About

Eurowings is a German low-cost carrier and a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group, headquartered in Düsseldorf. Founded in 1990 through the merger of Nürnberger Flugdienst and Reise- und Industrieflug, it began operations in 1994. Initially focused on regional flights, Eurowings transformed into a low-cost carrier in 2014. It operates a fleet primarily composed of Airbus A320 family aircraft and offers flights to over 150 European destinations. Eurowings positions itself as a value airline, distinct from ultra-low-cost carriers, offering flexible booking options and customer-friendly services. It maintains bases in Germany, Austria, Kosovo, and the Czech Republic, with its subsidiary Eurowings Europe operating from additional European bases. The airline focuses on point-to-point traffic and is known for its extensive route network, particularly in the leisure travel segment. Eurowings emphasizes sustainability and corporate responsibility, aligning with the Lufthansa Group's broader strategy.
