Tourexpi
With a strong summer and autumn season behind it, Eurowings
continues to build on its growth trajectory. Germany’s largest holiday airline
carried more than 18 million passengers on 133,000 flights in the first nine
months of 2025 – an increase of over 600,000 passengers compared with the same
period last year. Operational performance remained exceptionally stable, with reliability
exceeding 99 percent, placing Eurowings among the top performers in the
industry.
The result also shows in customer satisfaction: the
airline achieved a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 42, confirming the sustained
trust and approval of travelers.
“We can look back on a strong travel season with top
performance,” said Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings. “Due to high demand, we have
significantly expanded our flight program and made it even more attractive for
our customers by adding many new destinations. The strong performance of our
Eurowings teams deserves all the more respect because we are operating in a
market in Germany where location costs continue to rise, making flights
increasingly expensive and therefore unprofitable on many routes.”
Expanding horizons: New medium-haul routes
Eurowings continues to grow its medium-haul portfolio in
the 2025/26 winter schedule. The airline will connect Düsseldorf with Dubai
three times a week – the first direct Eurowings service from North
Rhine-Westphalia’s capital to the Emirati desert metropolis. Altogether, the
airline will operate 28 weekly direct flights to Dubai from Cologne/Bonn,
Düsseldorf, Berlin, Stuttgart, and Hanover.
Additional growth comes from new routes to Amman
(Jordan) from Stuttgart, and expanded services to Morocco, with Marrakesh now
linked to Hanover, Salzburg, Stuttgart, and Prague.
Streamlining the domestic network
In response to record-high airport and air traffic
fees in Germany, Eurowings continues to scale back unprofitable domestic routes.
Connections such as Nuremberg–Hamburg, Hamburg–Cologne/Bonn, and Dortmund–Munich
have already been withdrawn from the schedule.
Positive financial performance
The Lufthansa Group’s Point-to-Point segment,
comprising Eurowings and SunExpress, reported an adjusted EBIT of €61 million
as of October 30, 2025. The workforce also grew to nearly 5,500 employees,
reflecting the airline’s continued expansion and operational strength.
With its blend of reliability, efficiency, and new
destinations, Eurowings reaffirms its position as a leading European leisure
and value airline – and as one of the Lufthansa Group’s key drivers of
sustainable growth.
