Eurowings: a presence now concentrated in the French regions

Eurowings, the German low-cost subsidiary of the Lufthansa group, prefers to concentrate on the French regions rather than Paris. The only new feature this summer is the launch of a Nice-Stockholm flight and more frequencies between Lyon and Düsseldorf.

The covid pandemic drastically reduced the network ofEurowings. But while European traffic is recovering this spring, Lufthansa's low-cost subsidiary remains curiously absent from the Paris market. It now only offers one route from Paris CDG for Hamburg. There will be two flights a day between the two cities.

On the other hand, the other main line Paris CDG-Düsseldorf has been discreetly suspended. The company was in fact faced with a massive presence ofAir France. The latter proposes five daily flights with a HOP Embraer 190. Not to mention one or two direct daily rail connections with Thalys.

On the other hand Eurowings has a stronger regional presence. Nice is the main beneficiary of the German carrier's presence. It serves Cologne/Bonn (6 to 7 weekly flights), Düsseldorf (1 daily flight), Hamburg (4 weekly flights) and Stuttgart (4 to 5 weekly flights). Eurowings is also inaugurating a weekly flight every Thursday on 28 April to Stockholm-Arlandaits new base. A second Tuesday flight will be added in early June.

Transport also offers eight flights a week between Lyon and Düsseldorfthree flights a week between Marseille and Düsseldorf and one flight a week between Bastia and Stuttgart.
