Eurowings to modernize its fleet with 40 Boeing 737 MAX jets
Lufthansa Group has decided to allocate Eurowings 40 new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft from an order placed in 2023.
The investment, valued at approximately five billion dollars at list price, is not only the largest in Eurowings’ more than 30-year history but also a cornerstone of its sustainability goals.
Operational and Passenger Experience Advantages
The Boeing 737-8 MAX, with a capacity for 189 passengers, outperforms the Airbus A319 model it will replace, offering 39 additional seats and greater range. This will enable Eurowings to expand its network to include longer medium-haul destinations. Additionally, the new aircraft will feature a redesigned cabin for enhanced comfort, improving the overall travel experience for passengers.
The fleet renewal process will begin in 2027 and be completed by 2032, during which the new aircraft will gradually replace the Airbus A319 and older A320 models.
Eurowings: A History of Growth and Leadership
Since the end of the pandemic, Eurowings has experienced dynamic growth, establishing itself as Germany’s largest leisure airline and market leader at key airports such as Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Stuttgart, and Cologne/Bonn.
Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of the Lufthansa Group, expressed optimism for Eurowings’ future, highlighting its successful strategy and the key role of its employees in a highly competitive market.
Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings, emphasized the importance of balancing economic success with ecological responsibility. “With 40 state-of-the-art aircraft, we are laying the foundations for a successful and sustainable future,” he said. This modernization not only reduces emissions but also ensures competitive fares for passengers, an essential combination for the airline’s long-term success in the demanding markets of the next decade.
