The carrier wants to start with a total of eight destinations - including American airports. The necessary flight permit has now been applied for for the planned US destinations.

The Lufthansa Group will be one airline richer, because Eurowings Discover will see the light of day in June. So it is high time to think about the necessary permits. The applications for this have already been submitted to the US Department of Transportation, as has the portal Travel topia reported. The operating permit in Germany would still not be available at the moment.

Mainly long-haul tourist destinations are on the radar of the new subsidiary of the AUA parent company. A total of eight destinations are planned for the start, two of them in the United States. The cities of Anchorage in Alaska and Las Vegas in Nevada are planned here. There are also destinations in Africa and the Caribbean. Four Airbus A330 aircraft will be used.
