Eurowings, a popular low-cost carrier in Europe, is significantly expanding its winter 2024 schedule, with over 120 destinations planned across 37 countries. The airline has introduced new routes from its key bases in Berlin (BER) and Stuttgart (STR), strengthening its position as a major player in European air travel. The expansion includes exciting new services to Jeddah (JED) in Saudi Arabia and Cairo (CAI) in Egypt, reflecting the airline’s response to the growing demand for Middle Eastern and European winter destinations.
New Routes to Meet Growing Demand
Eurowings has tailored its winter 2024 flight schedule to cater to leisure travelers looking for both European and Middle Eastern escapes during the colder months. The airline is increasing the frequency of several of its key European routes while introducing new long-haul flights to cities in the Middle East.
From Berlin, Eurowings will now operate daily flights to various winter holiday destinations, making it easier for passengers to explore cultural hubs and sun-kissed cities. Additionally, the airline has boosted its offering from Stuttgart, introducing four weekly flights to meet demand for popular leisure destinations in Southern Europe and beyond.
New Middle Eastern Routes: Jeddah and Cairo
The most notable additions to Eurowings’ winter schedule are the new routes to Jeddah (JED) and Cairo (CAI). These two key cities mark the airline’s first expansion into the Middle East for the winter season. Both Jeddah and Cairo are expected to attract a combination of business travelers and tourists, offering an ideal balance of modern infrastructure and rich cultural experiences.
Jeddah serves as the gateway to Mecca, catering to religious and business travelers alike. The new service to Jeddah will appeal to passengers seeking seamless travel options to one of Saudi Arabia’s largest cities, along with access to the Red Sea coast. Cairo, known for its historical significance and the iconic Giza Pyramids, is expected to draw tourists eager to explore ancient Egypt. This route will provide an easy connection for travelers seeking to discover Cairo’s cultural and economic offerings.
Aircraft and Comfort: Airbus A320
Both routes will be serviced by Airbus A320 aircraft, ensuring cost-effective yet comfortable travel experiences for passengers. The Airbus A320 fleet is equipped with modern amenities that cater to both short and medium-haul flights, ideal for the 5-6 hour journey between Europe and the Middle East.
Enhanced European Connectivity
In addition to its Middle Eastern routes, Eurowings is enhancing its European connectivity by adding more flights to several popular winter destinations within Europe. This includes increased frequencies to cities such as Vienna (VIE), Barcelona (BCN), Lisbon (LIS), and Salzburg (SZG), making it easier for travelers to book winter escapes. The additional flights will benefit those seeking out cultural and leisure experiences during the festive season.
Eurowings will also offer more flights to Alpine regions, with connections to key cities such as Innsbruck (INN) and Salzburg (SZG), catering to winter sports enthusiasts looking to hit the slopes.
