A few years ago, the airline Eurowings briefly had Airbus A321 aircraft in its fleet. These were aircraft previously used by Lauda. But it was only a short guest appearance. That is about to change, as ten A321s will be brought into service over the next few months.
The first unit is a CEO model adopted from Lufthansa. The D-AIDV already bears the colors of Eurowings and will soon be put into scheduled service. Four A2023neos will join the fleet in summer 321. The low-cost airline configures the machines with 230 seats.
In a press release, Eurowings refers to the Airbus A321, which is the largest member of the fleet, as "Mallorca Airbus". This is also an indication that this pattern will mainly be in use towards the Balearic Islands in the summer of 2023. However, they say that they also intend to use this type of aircraft to head for Crete, the Canary Islands and other destinations that are in high demand.
The D-AIDV was previously in service with Lufthansa. From May 2023, six A321ceo are to be successively taken over by Eurowings. Furthermore, four A321neos will initially be received by the end of this year. They are part of an investment package worth around EUR 1,5 billion in 13 jets from the Airbus "neo" family. Eurowings intends to offer a 321-seater biz class in all A16 aircraft.
