Eurowings

[Ray Finkle]

Berlin is now operated by a Germanwings A319 6x weekly, it's dropping to 4 weekly from end of Dec for a couple of months with the odd week still seeing 6 services. Dusseldorf still sees a Eurowings CRJ and will become Germanwings early next year. Eurowings will also stay on the Hamburg route for now operating on behalf of Germanwings.

Re: Germanwings

I am hearing that the TXL service is to end on August 31st.
I can't help feeling that Lufthansa have missed a trick here as they are a known brand at many regional airports,and Germanwings are not.
Also when LH operated this route,it did seem to be picking up.
Very disappointing news!!!

Re: Germanwings

Im dissapointed with Germanwings tbf, they do seem to not really know which direction they are going. Again the BHX flight timings were all over the place so not really surprised it is going.

A bit like England in the world cup, didnt have high hopes, however there is a market for Berlin from BHX i really do believe, just need an airline to be consistant with timings and frequency etc.

Re: Germanwings

One for Flybe?

Definately one for Flybe, could be a good little route for a E175 and people know who Flybe are. :good:

Re: Germanwings

I to believe Flybe could be a good shout for Berlin.
It is whether they have enough aircraft to go around that could be the stumbling block.
Having said that I am led to believe that some E195s may yet be retained,at least until further E175s are delivered.
We await to see what happens with interest.

Re: Germanwings

I have to say it's not a surprise, I'm shocked it lasted this long. It is unfortunate as when it as Lufthansa it seemed to be doing pretty well but after it switched to Germanwings things soon took a drop and as already said frequency and timings were chopped and changed. It could be a good one for Flybe.

Re: Germanwings

Hamburg will drop to 5x weekly at the end of September then 4x weekly at the end of October for winter, another case of dying route syndrome?

Flybe have the evening flight returning soon, hopefully there will be a morning service to compliment it in the future.

Re: Germanwings

It seems Germanwings do not have any love for BHX. Lets just hope DUS does not go the same way....

Re: Germanwings

I should think even with Germanwings DUS is pretty safe.

Re: Germanwings

Back in November 2012 Lufthansa were planning to upgrade Berlin from an A319 to an A320 for the following summer, Germanwings took over and systematically reduced the frequency until it has now gone. Winter 2012/13 Hamburg was at 11x weekly, last winter it was 6x weekly now this winter it'll be 4x weekly. Will it be here next winter? Dusseldorf appears to be a very high yielding route so hopefully it can stay at 17x weekly even in the hands of Germanwings and with Flybe also operating their 22x weekly flights.

Re: Germanwings

Hamburg is back up to 6x weekly for summer 2015.

Re: Germanwings

Dusseldorf transferred to Germanwings today, it's still 3x daily operated by the Eurowings CRJ900.......for now!

Re: Germanwings

The Sunday Hamburg flight will be operated by an A319 until mid February, this is around the time when Germanwings will be switching flights from the CRJ9 so we'll have to see what happens to Hamburg and Dusseldorf.

Just seen this quoted from somebody on another website:

"German media are reporting about Lufthansa investigating plans to build a low-coster serving the pan-European market. Obviously their brand "Germanwings" won't quite cut it for that purpose, so the new baby is supposed to be called, wait, "Eurowings".

If this is true then all this changing of names from what used to be that "Excellent Airline Brand" called Lufthansa, is going to do nothing for there image, and unfortunately isnt going to do anything for BHX.

Re: Germanwings

So is "Germanwings" going to be replaced with "Eurowings" ????


Im getting really confused with all this ????

 

[Ray Finkle]

Re: Germanwings

I think the Germanwings brand will be gone by the end of next year to be replaced by Eurowings who will also be operating the low cost long haul A330 flights which were to be Worldwings, these are not to be confused with the new LH long haul arm from Frankfurt operating A340's which will be called Jump :crazy:

Re: Germanwings

Germanwings are having a one day strike at DUS tomorrow, so far only the morning flight is showing canx on BHX arrivals.

Announced strikes in Cologne and Dusseldorf

Re: Germanwings

Another change, as of 25th October DUS and HAM will be operating with Eurowings and have an EW flight code rather than the Germanwings 4U.

germanwings from 25OCT15 begins initial phase of brand integration with Eurowings, as 55 routes will be operating under Eurowings’ “EW” coded flight numbers. Following routes will be operating with EW flight numbers, instead of germanwings’ 4U.
