18 million passengers: Eurowings continues its growth path

Eurowings continues its success story with a strong summer and autumn season in 2025: Germany's largest holiday airline carried more than 18 million passengers on 133,000 flights in the first nine months of the year. This means that the Lufthansa Group's value airline achieved a growth of over 600,000 passengers from January to September 2025 compared to the previous year. Thanks to a very stable operational performance, reliability rose to over 99 percent – a top figure in the industry. The result is high customer satisfaction ratings: the Net Promoter Score (NPS) was 42, confirming the strong support of passengers for the Lufthansa Group's value airline.

“We can look back on a strong travel season with top performance,” said Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof. “Due to high demand, we have significantly expanded our flight program and made it even more attractive for our customers by adding many new destinations. The strong performance of our Eurowings teams deserves all the more respect because we are operating in a market in Germany where location costs continue to rise, making flights increasingly expensive and therefore unprofitable on many routes.”

Eurowings continues to expand medium-haul destinations – and cuts back on domestic traffic

In its 2025/26 winter schedule, Eurowings is expanding its range of medium-haul flights in particular, connecting Düsseldorf with Dubai three times a week. This means that, for the first time, travelers can fly directly from the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia to the popular desert metropolis with Eurowings. In total, Eurowings will then be offering a total of 28 weekly direct flights to Dubai from the airports Cologne/Bonn, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Stuttgart and Hanover. In addition to this, Amman in Jordan is a new destination in the Eurowings schedule from Stuttgart, and the range of flights to Morocco is growing as well: Eurowings will connect Marrakesh with Hanover, Salzburg, Stuttgart and Prague for the first time.

In exchange for these expansions, Eurowings is reducing the number of domestic German flights, which are particularly burdened by fees, due to the record-high overall costs in Germany as an aviation location. The Nuremberg-Hamburg, Hamburg-Cologne/Bonn and Dortmund-Munich routes have already been removed from the schedule.

The bottom line is that the Lufthansa Group's point-to-point business segment – consisting of Eurowings and its stake in SunExpress – posted a positive result of €61 million (adjusted EBIT) as of 30 October 2025. The number of employees rose to just under 5,500.
