Eurowings Discover starts flight operations on short- and medium-haul routes

• First Airbus 320 took off from Frankfurt to Tenerife on 31 October
• Two travel classes, sustainable ‘Save a Snack Bag’ offer and German cult crime series ‘Tatort’ available in in-flight entertainment
• Milestone: 100 days of long-haul flight operations

Just in time for the winter flight schedule, Eurowings Discover started flight operations on short- and medium-haul routes from Frankfurt on October 31. With the first Airbus 320 from the fleet of the young Lufthansa Group airline, guests on flight 4Y 306 took off at 9:40 am from Frankfurt to the island of Tenerife. Currently, in addition to four weekly flights to Tenerife, the vacation airline also operates five weekly flights to Gran Canaria and two weekly frequencies each to Fuerteventura and Lanzarote. Adjustments to the flight schedule on short- und medium-haul routes are possible in the course of this winter due to changing regulations of individual countries.

In summer 2022, Eurowings Discover will fly from Frankfurt to more than 20 short- and medium-haul tourist destinations with a total of five Airbus 320. In Munich, the airline will start operations in June 2022 with its own short-haul base and five Airbus 320, serving numerous tourist destinations.
