ERA named German operator Eurowings regional airline of the year at last month’s general assembly, 12 months after the German regional airline placed second in the competition. Eurowings attributes its success to its fleet mix and route network; an appropriate alliance policy with German flag carrier Lufthansa, which has an option to increase its 25-percent stake in the regional to 49 percent; and an attractive “customer product.”
The airline flies some 330 services a day to nearly 60 destinations in almost 20 countries. It carried 3.2 million passengers last year. It has seen profits more than double in two years, from e2.6 million in 1998 to e5.8 million last year, according to senior vice president Karl-Friedrich Mueller.
