- Eurowings is expanding, primarily at its Düsseldorf and Stuttgart bases, in the second half. The Lufthansa Group budget arm will add six new routes from Düsseldorf to Kiev and Zagreb from August 31; Bergamo from October 31; Tromsø, Norway, and Rovaniemi, Finland, from early December; and Lombardy from January 31, 2022. Stuttgart will gain three new routes: Kiruna and Luleå, Sweden, and Marrakech all from early December.
Eurowings also will connect Cologne/Bonn with Yerevan from August and Marrakech from December. And Salzburg to Larnaca from September 4. The airline cites leisure and visiting friends and relatives demand for the new routes. - Canadian ultra-low-cost carrier Flair Airlines plans a big foray south of the border this fall. The carrier will add Burbank, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Orlando Sanford, Palm Springs and Phoenix Mesa to its map on October 31. Flair plans to connect the six U.S. cities with 21 routes to eight Canadian gateways through the winter. Flair’s expansion comes weeks after WestJet-owned discounter Swoop added three new U.S. destinations, including Orlando Sanford.
