Eurowings GmbH is a German low-cost carrier headquartered in Düsseldorf, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lufthansa Group. Founded on February 1, 1993, through the merger of Nürnberger Flugdienst (NFD) and Reise- und Industrieflug (RFG), Eurowings initially operated as a regional airline. Lufthansa gradually acquired a stake, gaining full control in 2005. The airline underwent a major transformation starting in 2014-2015, rebranding as a value carrier for short and medium-haul flights and integrating the route network of Germanwings.
Eurowings maintains several key operational bases across Europe. Its largest hub is Düsseldorf (DUS), with other significant bases including Cologne/Bonn (CGN), Hamburg (HAM), Stuttgart (STR), Berlin (BER), and a major seasonal base in Palma de Mallorca (PMI). The airline also operates from bases in Austria and the Czech Republic (Prague). Eurowings operates an extensive network predominantly focused on domestic German and European destinations, connecting over 100 destinations in more than 50 countries. While it previously offered long-haul services, these routes have since been transferred to other Lufthansa Group airlines or to Discover Airlines (formerly Eurowings Discover).
The Eurowings fleet primarily consists of Airbus narrowbody aircraft. As of May 2025, it includes Airbus A319, A320-200, A320neo, A321-200, and A321neo models. Additionally, the airline utilizes a small number of Boeing 737-800 aircraft through a partnership with Smartwings. In a significant modernization effort, Eurowings announced in January 2025 the allocation of 40 new Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft, with deliveries expected between 2027 and 2032, aimed at replacing its older Airbus A319 and A320 models. As a member of the Lufthansa Group, Eurowings is associated with the Star Alliance network, allowing passengers to earn and redeem miles through the Miles & More frequent flyer program. Eurowings offers distinct fare options: BASIC (seat-only, small hand luggage), SMART (includes preferred seating, checked baggage, a snack, and a drink), and BIZclass (premium services with priority check-in and boarding, lounge access, a guaranteed free middle seat, and à la carte catering). Recently, Eurowings introduced a Premium BIZ seat on some A320neo aircraft, featuring larger, reclining seats with leg rests and enhanced service for select medium-haul routes.
