Eurowings expands Middle East network with new Baghdad flights - Get updated on what's happening in tourism!

Eurowings is expanding its Middle East network for winter 2026/27, adding Baghdad as a new destination alongside a broad range of services to the region. From 10 December 2026, the airline plans to operate two weekly nonstop flights to the Iraqi capital from both Berlin and Düsseldorf.

The new Baghdad routes complement Eurowings’ existing services to Iraq and form part of a wider winter expansion from Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn, Hamburg, Hanover and Stuttgart. The airline will connect these airports with destinations across Northern and Southern Europe, the Canary Islands, Egypt and the Middle East.

Dubai remains one of the strongest Middle Eastern destinations in the programme. Eurowings will operate daily flights from Berlin, four weekly services from Stuttgart and three from Cologne/Bonn, providing a total of 14 weekly connections. The airline is also expanding its premium product on the longer routes, with its new Premium BIZ Seat available on all Dubai flights from December.

Baghdad joins a broad regional network

The two new Baghdad routes will give travellers from Berlin and Düsseldorf direct access to the Iraqi capital twice a week. They complement Eurowings’ existing links with Erbil, which will be served from six German airports: Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn, Hamburg, Hanover and Stuttgart.

Saudi Arabia also remains part of the winter programme. Jeddah will receive two weekly flights from both Berlin and Stuttgart and three weekly services from Cologne/Bonn.

Eurowings will operate three weekly flights between Düsseldorf and Tel Aviv, while Stuttgart will be linked with Amman twice a week. Beirut will have connections with several European cities in the Eurowings network, including Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hanover, Stockholm, Prague and Salzburg.

The range gives Eurowings a Middle East portfolio extending from the Gulf and Saudi Arabia to Iraq, Jordan and the eastern Mediterranean, while concentrating much of the German capacity at Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne/Bonn and Stuttgart.

Premium BIZ Seat expands from December

Alongside the network expansion, Eurowings is introducing its Premium BIZ Seat on selected routes from 1 December 2026. All flights to Dubai will offer the new product, together with selected services to London Heathrow, Mallorca and Málaga.

The seating concept occupies the first two rows of the Airbus A320neo and provides eight seats in a 2-2 configuration. Compared with the standard cabin layout, passengers receive wider seats, additional legroom and greater recline as well as adjustable leg rests.

The introduction gives Eurowings a more differentiated premium product on routes such as Dubai, where flight times make additional space and comfort particularly relevant. It also extends the airline’s premium strategy beyond traditional business destinations by offering the seats on selected leisure routes.

With Baghdad joining the network and 14 weekly Dubai services planned, Eurowings is giving the Middle East a prominent position in its 2026/27 winter schedule while simultaneously upgrading the onboard product on some of its longer flights.
