Eurowings introduces premium seating on A320neo medium-haul flights

Germany

New 2×2 layout in the first rows expands comfort offer on business and leisure routes

At ITB Berlin 2026, Eurowings announced a new premium product for its Airbus A320neo fleet, introducing a redesigned seating concept on selected medium-haul routes. Following successful market tests, Germany’s largest leisure airline will equip eight A320neo aircraft with premium seats, offering more space, comfort and privacy in the front rows.

The new configuration replaces the traditional 2×3 seating layout in the first two rows with a more spacious 2×2 arrangement. This creates eight Premium BIZ seats designed for passengers seeking additional comfort on flights lasting between three and six hours. Eurowings primarily deploys the A320neo on longer medium-haul routes.

More space and privacy on medium-haul flights

The new cabin concept builds on customer feedback collected since November 2025, when Eurowings introduced the Premium BIZ seat on the Berlin–Dubai route and tested the product on additional services. According to the airline, travellers responded particularly positively to the increased personal space, improved privacy and enhanced onboard service.

With demand proving strong, Eurowings has now approved the expansion of the concept. In addition to longer leisure routes, the airline is considering the introduction of the premium seating product on connections to business destinations such as London as well as high-demand holiday routes including Mallorca and the Canary Islands. All eight A320neo aircraft in the fleet will be equipped with the new seats.

Product upgrade and expanded inflight service

“We are boldly changing an industry standard because our guests’ expectations are changing as well,” says Max Kownatzki, CEO of Eurowings. “The success of our market tests made it clear within just a few months that many passengers on longer flights want a bit more space and affordable comfort. With the introduction of the Premium BIZ seat, we are emphasizing our role as Europe’s value airline, offering good service at fair prices across all fare categories.”

The new seats come from Italian manufacturer Geven and are part of a broader product upgrade. The Premium BIZ offer includes adjustable footrests, USB charging ports, pillows and blankets, as well as an amenity kit. Passengers also receive an upgraded inflight service with an aperitif, a hot meal served on porcelain and an expanded beverage selection.

According to Eurowings, the initiative forms part of a wider strategy to strengthen its positioning as a value airline by combining competitive prices with improved comfort and service quality.
