One Year in Dubai: Eurowings Enhances Services to the Gulf Metropolis
German
airline Eurowings is significantly expanding its direct flight offering to
Dubai. Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings, announced over the weekend a doubling of
capacity for the Winter 2024/25 flight schedule. “Dubai, with its futuristic
skyline, is not only a vibrant business hub but also a magnet for more and more
leisure travelers. With our value offer, you can experience the exciting mix of
winter sun, desert sands, and skyscrapers without a layover and at very
attractive prices,” said Bischof at an event with tourism experts in the
Emirate.
Bischof
also presented a major expansion of Eurowings' offering: starting October 27,
2024, Dubai will be connected daily and nonstop with the German capital, Berlin
(currently 4 times per week). From Stuttgart, there will be up to four weekly
flights (currently 2 times per week). Additionally, Cologne/Bonn will become
the third German departure airport, with Eurowings operating three weekly
nonstop flights from the Rhineland to Dubai using Airbus A320neo aircraft.
Direct
Flights with New Service Additions
The
Dubai product with entry prices from 139.99 euros (one-way) and very attractive
flight times (day flights without transfers) complements Eurowings with new
service components. For BIZ Class passengers, this includes pillows, padded
headrests, and free food and drinks (including alcoholic beverages) throughout
the flight. All Dubai passengers will also receive device holders onboard the
A320neo, making it easier to watch movies and series on their own devices.
The
rapidly growing Eurowings offering on longer medium-haul routes is partially
replacing domestic German routes, which, due to rapidly increasing taxes and
fees at German airports, are becoming increasingly unprofitable to operate. For
example, the service between Hamburg and Cologne/Bonn, which has been popular
for many years, will soon be discontinued.
