According to the airline Eurowings, there is an increasing demand for business trips. For this reason, from September 2022, the range of routes that are typically used by business travelers will be expanded by around 30 percent.

According to Eurowings Managing Director Jens Bischof, there is still a long way to go before the pre-crisis figures, but there is a “progressive normalization in this segment”. According to the manager, this would be clearly shown by the booking figures that could be landed for autumn 2022.

The carrier also claims in a media release that the processes on the ground and in the air have been stabilized. According to their own statements, they want to have achieved a top value of 99 percent reliability. However, the Lufthansa subsidiary does not give any further details on which this statement is based. The extensions from the individual airports are shown below.
