Palma: Eurowings Europe is taking off again

The Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings Europe will take off again on June 27, 2020 at 7:45 a.m. after a three-month flight break. The "first flight" will be on the Palma de Mallorca-Hanover route. Initially, the Spanish base will restart with two Airbus A320s. From there, destinations such as Berlin, Bremen, Dresden, Hanover, Leipzig, Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden, Munich, Münster-Osnabrück, Nuremberg and Saarbrücken will be served. In Austria, Eurowings flies to Salzburg and Innsbruck. The number of aircraft that will be reactivated will be gradually increased. In addition to Palma de Mallorca, Eurowings Europe also has bases in Vienna and Pristina. The one in Vienna was de facto closed with the abandonment of numerous routes or the handover to sister company Austrian Airlines. It has not yet been communicated when Pristina and Salzburg will resume operations. It is also not yet clear what impact the termination of the wet lease, which was flown briefly for Austrian Airlines, will have on the Eurowings Europe staff stationed in Vienna. "We are delighted that Eurowings Europe can take off again," says Robert Jahn, Managing Director of Eurowings Europe. "I would like to thank our guests for their patience and understanding during this difficult phase. And I would especially like to thank our Eurowings Europe team, who have had to endure a lot of uncertainty and show perseverance in recent weeks. We are all the more pleased that we can now start again and be there for our holiday guests."

Austria lifted landing bans early

On Saturday evening, the Republic of Austria lifted all remaining flight bans ahead of schedule. This is made clear in NOTAM A1568/20. The ban on incoming passenger flights from a total of ten countries was lifted without replacement on June 20, 2020 at 21:59 p.m. In concrete terms, this means that not only aircraft coming from Spain, but also those that took off from the People's Republic of China, Iran, Lombardy, Belarus, Portugal, Sweden, Russia, the United Kingdom and Ukraine are allowed to land in Austria with passengers on board. This enables airlines to resume their connections. To date, no NOTAM has been published that would impose a new ban on the countries mentioned or the Lombardy region (Italy). However, the lifting of the landing ban does not change the entry regulations of the Republic of Austria.
