Eurowings hopes to strengthen its position at Berlin Brandenburg (BER) with the launch of a new base and plans to enter the British leisure market for the first time in response to what the carrier describes as “holiday fever” in the UK.
Three Airbus A320s will be stationed at BER from April 1, 2021, enabling the Lufthansa subsidiary to serve Cologne/Bonn (CGN), Düsseldorf (DUS) and Stuttgart (STR) up to three times per day. The airline said the expansion would also better connect inbound tourists to Germany’s capital.
The move is expected to create 100 jobs and allow many former Air Berlin pilots and crew who joined Lufthansa Group after the Berlin-based carrier’s demise to return home.
