Eurowings Celebrates GNTM Winner Aurélie with WINGS Magazine Cover

Germany

Flight attendant and Germany's Next Top Model winner becomes the face of the airline's summer in-flight magazine

Eurowings is dedicating the cover of its summer edition of WINGS to Aurélie Carina, the newly crowned winner of Germany's Next Top Model (GNTM) and a member of the airline's cabin crew. By placing one of its own employees on the magazine's front page, the airline is paying tribute to her achievement while highlighting the people behind the Eurowings brand. The summer issue will reach around five million passengers across Europe during the peak travel season.

A rare departure from tradition

The cover of WINGS is traditionally reserved for striking nature photography. Shortly after Aurélie's victory in the GNTM final in Hollywood, Eurowings decided to break with that long-standing design concept and dedicate the cover to one of its own colleagues instead of sending a conventional congratulatory message.

"In the fashion industry, a cover symbolises recognition, visibility, and exceptional achievement. Dedicating the latest issue of WINGS to Aurélie is our most sincere way of saying: We are proud of you," says Max Kownatzki, CEO of Eurowings. "What we are most delighted by is that, despite everything – the hustle and bustle, the glamour, the public eye – she will remain one of us. That says it all."

A tribute to the entire Eurowings team

For Eurowings, the cover story goes beyond celebrating a modelling success. The airline sees Aurélie as a representative of the more than 5,500 employees who contribute to the company every day.

"To us, Aurélie isn't just some celebrity passing through," says Kownatzki. "She is a very versatile, talented colleague, a popular crew member, and a friendly face of the Eurowings family. But her cover story is more than that: she represents the more than 5,500 Eurowings employees who shape the company. Aurélie's story shows the diverse talents, passions, and life paths that lie behind the people on board and on the ground."

Available on board from July

The summer edition of WINGS will be available on all Eurowings flights from the beginning of July, bringing Aurélie's story to millions of travellers throughout the summer season.
