"During the group phase of the European competitions, Eurowings has specifically increased flight capacity on its Europe-wide route network and offers football fans from Germany, England, Austria, Italy, Spain and Hungary a quick and easy journey to the respective venues.

Who are Eurowings?

Eurowings is the low-cost carrier subsidiary of Lufthansa and their answer to the likes of EasyJet and Ryanair. They fly to 79 destinations with their 147 aircraft. Their fleet is made up of a colourful arrangement of aircraft, from Airbus A319s to a single Airbus A340-300. A common misconception is that they have an all airbus fleet, but they also have six Boeing 737-800s and 16 De Havilland Dash 8-400s.

This news that they are opening three new routes is rather interesting considering the last few stories we have published regarding their financial situation. With the word on the street that they are cutting routes due to financial losses, the reposition of these fleet aircraft to new routes is a little strange.

Whether or not they will actually go through with these three new routes remains to be seen.
