Eurowings' long-haul operations must reduce instability
Eurowings said delays and flight cancelations on long-haul routes because of technical issues and crew shortages have been reduced. Going forward, careful planning will take priority over growing its network rapidly. “There have been long delays in the past, but now we have this under control. About 3% out of a total of 1,000 Eurowings long-haul flights had been delayed more than 3 hr,” a spokesperson said. Lufthansa chairman and CE Carsten Spohr said in June that the start of Eurowings’ long-haul routes was a bit too ambitious. “[We had] a complex network; too many destinations counted down to one aircraft. I also learned from that [mistake]. Eurowings is a completely different ballgame,” he said. Eurowings operates 4 310-seat Airbus A330-200s on long-haul flights, which are wet-leased from SunExpress. <br/>
