German low-cost carrier Eurowings is planning big for summer 2022 with plenty of new and exciting destinations. For the first time, the airline will offer as many as 380 flights a week to the Spanish holiday island of Mallorca. The Düsseldorf-headquartered airline says that after what may be a problematic winter battling COVID-19, during the summer, it will offer nearly as many flights as it did before the pandemic.

With the travel industry predicting a strong rebound in the summer of 2022, Germany's largest holiday airline says you can now use the cold Christmas days to book your summer vacation on the Eurowings website. Eurowings says that it offers customers over 140 attractive destinations to choose from, including the ever-popular Mediterranean island of Mallorca.

Along with Mallorca, Eurowings will fly from the following German airports to:

  • Hamburg Airport (HAM) to Lisbon, Porto, Alicante, Bilbao, Verona, and Gothenburg.
  • Stuttgart Airport (STR) to Porto (Portugal), Adana and Kütahya-Zafer (Turkey), Preveza (Greece), Tbilisi (Georgia) Tivat (Montenegro) and Tunis (Tunisia). Also returning to the schedule is the Romanian city of Timisoara.

  • From Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN), Eurowings will fly to the Canary Island of Tenerife and serve Benidorm, the Spanish holiday resort of Alicante. Turkey is also back on the agenda for 2022, with Eurowings offering flights to Izmir and Kayseri. Also, given that the Turkish Lira has lost 40% of its value against the Euro this year, it could prove to be a popular summer destination for German tourists.

About Eurowings

Eurowings came about in 1993 following the merger of two German commuter airlines Nürnberger Flugdienst (NFD) and Reise-und Industrieflug (RFG). Initially operating with a fleet of ATR 42s and ATR 72s, the airline added BAe 146s before becoming the mainly Airbus airline it is today. German national flag carrier Lufthansa acquired an initial 24.9% stake in Eurowings in 2001, before later increasing that to 49% and eventual ownership in 2011. In 2017, Lufthansa announced that it planned to move Eurowings away from being a regional carrier and that it would now be a low-cost carrier (LCC) flying short and long-haul routes to holiday destinations.

According to the aviation data and statistics, website ch-aviation Eurowings current fleet is made up of the following 95 aircraft:

  • 2 x Airbus A220-300s (wet leased)
  • 36 x Airbus A319-100s
  • 53 x Airbus A320-200s
  • 2 x Airbus A321-200s
  • 2 x Boeing 737-800s
