  About Eurowings

Eurowings GmbH is a low-cost German airline with its headquarters in Dusseldorf. The airline is a subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group and is wholly owned by the airline's company. Eurowings was founded by Lufthansa Group in 1996 and continues to serve as the best option for domestic routes as well as European destinations. Further, the airline also caters to long-haul routes. It has its base located at various airports namely Berlin Tegel Airport, Dusseldorf Airport, Munich Airport, Salzburg Airport, Stuttgart Airport, Cologne Bonn Airport, Hannover Airport, Vienna International Airport, Pristina International Airport, Palma de Mallorca Airport, Hamburg Airport, and Nuremberg Airport. In recent years, the airline has witnessed tremendous transformations. Up until 2014, the airline was a part of Lufthansa Regional.

By 2015, Eurowings redeveloped into a full-fledged low-cost carrier that operated short-haul and long haul flights. The same year, Eurowings also incorporated a route network set by Germanwings as the two brands merged.

The airline came into existence in 1993 as two of Germany's commuter airlines Nürnberger Flugdienst (NFD) and Reise- und Industrieflug (RFG), based out of Nuremberg and Dortmund, merged to form Eurowings. Right after its formation, the airline included ATR 42 and ATR 72 as part of its fleet to commence operations. Subsequently, they added BAe 146 and Airbus A320 were also added to the fleet. Larger Airbus aircraft, including Airbus A310, was also involved in the new fleet. Initially, Lufthansa had 24.9 percent stakes in the airline. However, by 2004, Lufthansa increased its stakes in the airline and raised it to 49 per cent. By 2011, the German airline took up complete ownership of Eurowings. During this time, Eurowings also owned a subsidiary called Germanwings as a branch of the low-cost carrier. There are plans to merge the two airlines and bring them under TUIfly. However, Lufthansa announced that it would acquire Germanwings from Eurowings. Moreover, Lufthansa's plans were to enhance Eurowings' reach in the regional route and bring forth a wider market range for both Eurowings and Germanwings.

Meanwhile, the long-haul flight operations will be spread out in Lufthansa's other network airlines such as Swiss, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines and Brussels Airlines.

Brussels Airlines will continue to work with Lufthansa's network partners and play a key role in Lufthansa's turnaround plan.
