Attractive nonstop connections now from three airports in Germany
Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof: “Doubling capacity for winter schedule”
Direct flights with Airbus A320neo now from Berlin, Stuttgart, and Cologne/Bonn
Growing mid-haul services partially replace domestic German routes

German airline Eurowings is significantly expanding its direct flight offering to Dubai. Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings, announced over the weekend a doubling of capacity for the Winter 2024/25 flight schedule. “Dubai, with its futuristic skyline, is not only a vibrant business hub but also a magnet for more and more leisure travelers. With our value offer, you can experience the exciting mix of winter sun, desert sands, and skyscrapers without a layover and at very attractive prices,” said Bischof at an event with tourism experts in the Emirate.

Bischof also presented a major expansion of Eurowings’ offering: starting October 27, 2024, Dubai will be connected daily and nonstop with the German capital, Berlin (currently 4 times per week). From Stuttgart, there will be up to four weekly flights (currently 2 times per week). Additionally, Cologne/Bonn will become the third German departure airport, with Eurowings operating three weekly nonstop flights from the Rhineland to Dubai using Airbus A320neo aircraft.

Direct Flights with New Service Additions

The Dubai product with entry prices from 139.99 euros (one-way) and very attractive flight times (day flights without transfers) complements Eurowings with new service components. For BIZ Class passengers, this includes pillows, padded headrests, and free food and drinks (including alcoholic beverages) throughout the flight. All Dubai passengers will also receive device holders onboard the A320neo, making it easier to watch movies and series on their own devices.

The rapidly growing Eurowings offering on longer medium-haul routes is partially replacing domestic German routes, which, due to rapidly increasing taxes and fees at German airports, are becoming increasingly unprofitable to operate. For example, the service between Hamburg and Cologne/Bonn, which has been popular for many years, will soon be discontinued.
