SAFt’ fruit smoothie available on Eurowings flights as of now

 

• SAFt purchase offsets the flight-related CO₂ emissions of an average Eurowings route length
• Creative cooperation for more attention to sustainable aviation fuels
• Organic smoothie from kraftschluck focusses on local fruit and short delivery routes

  Sustainable enjoyment can be taken literally on board Eurowings flights going forward – in two ways: by purchasing the new organic fruit smoothie ‘SAFt’ in the Wings Bistro, passengers can offset the flight-related CO₂ emissions of an average Eurowings route length for 19.50 euros as of now. The compensation is made up of two components: sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) reduces 10 percent of flight-related CO₂ emissions. The remaining 90 percent of flight-related CO₂ emissions are offset by contributing to a high-quality climate project portfolio with the partners myclimate, Climate Partner and SQUAKE.   SAFt, a play on words involving the German word for ‚juice‘, aims to inform guests about SAF during the flight and offer the sustainable aviation fuel for purchase. Eurowings travelers can thus make a spontaneous and uncomplicated contribution to more sustainable flying. SAF is produced from biogenic waste from renewable sources, such as used cooking oils, and has a carbon footprint that is around 80 percent lower than that of fossil kerosene over its entire life cycle. As a drop-in fuel, SAF is compatible with fossil kerosene and is blended with it before being transported to the airport and then fed into the airport infrastructure. There is no refueling of individual flights with pure SAF.   The smoothie is also all about sustainability: the organic smoothie from kraftschluck is produced in Germany and has no added sugar. Kraftschluck is a young start-up from Nuremberg that guarantees that 99.9% of its fruit comes from German organic farms with short transport routes. The offer of CO₂ compensation that can be booked online in advance (Planet Blu) remains in place.

• Attractive nonstop connections now from three airports in Germany
• Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof: “Doubling capacity for winter schedule”
• Direct flights with Airbus A320neo now from Berlin, Stuttgart, and Cologne/Bonn
• Growing mid-haul services partially replace domestic German routes

  German airline Eurowings is significantly expanding its direct flight offering to Dubai. Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings, announced over the weekend a doubling of capacity for the Winter 2024/25 flight schedule. “Dubai, with its futuristic skyline, is not only a vibrant business hub but also a magnet for more and more leisure travelers. With our value offer, you can experience the exciting mix of winter sun, desert sands, and skyscrapers without a layover and at very attractive prices,” said Bischof at an event with tourism experts in the Emirate.   Bischof also presented a major expansion of Eurowings' offering: starting October 27, 2024, Dubai will be connected daily and nonstop with the German capital, Berlin (currently 4 times per week). From Stuttgart, there will be up to four weekly flights (currently 2 times per week). Additionally, Cologne/Bonn will become the third German departure airport, with Eurowings operating three weekly nonstop flights from the Rhineland to Dubai using Airbus A320neo aircraft.   Direct Flights with New Service Additions   The Dubai product with entry prices from 139.99 euros (one-way) and very attractive flight times (day flights without transfers) complements Eurowings with new service components. For BIZ Class passengers, this includes pillows, padded headrests, and free food and drinks (including alcoholic beverages) throughout the flight. All Dubai passengers will also receive device holders onboard the A320neo, making it easier to watch movies and series on their own devices.   The rapidly growing Eurowings offering on longer medium-haul routes is partially replacing domestic German routes, which, due to rapidly increasing taxes and fees at German airports, are becoming increasingly unprofitable to operate. For example, the service between Hamburg and Cologne/Bonn, which has been popular for many years, will soon be discontinued.

German leisure carrier Eurowings is expanding its route network in the Gulf region. After a successful launch of Dubai flights from Berlin, it immediately became the most successful route in the Eurowings winter flight schedule. From October, Eurowings offers daily Dubai flights from Berlin, which is up from four times a week. Also, Stuttgart to Dubai flights will increase to three times a week instead of twice weekly. "This success is motivating us to significantly increase frequencies next winter," said Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof. Eurowings is also adding a new Gulf region destination next winter. The airline will operate its first Saudi Arabia flights to Jeddah. Flights to the Red Sea port city of Jeddah will run three times a week from both Berlin and Cologne.

Eurowings will assign its code to AEGEAN flights serving Athens and Thessaloniki with Germany and the Czech Republic. The airlines plan to gradually expand the airline codeshare. Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof said: "The cooperation is part of our European growth strategy and strengthens our position as the largest German leisure airline.” “The agreement comes at exactly the right time, as we are currently recording the strongest incoming bookings in four years."

Manchester Airport has bagged a new destination – Stuttgart, Germany. The new Germany flights will be operated by Eurowings four days per week on an Airbus A319. The route begins on 6 May 2024 with fares starting from £39.99pp one way. Stuttgart will become the eighth German city with a direct link to Manchester – the others being Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, Dusseldorf and Freiburg. Ryanair previously operated a flight from Manchester to Stuttgart between 2015 and 2019. The city is twinned with the Merseyside town of St. Helens, in what is believed to the first such twinning in Europe. St Helens' relationship with Stuttgart was formalised in 1948, just a few years after World War II. “Our data shows that Stuttgart is one of the most in-demand destinations that is not already served, so it’s fantastic news,” said Chris Woodroofe, MD of Manchester Airport.
