Eurowings inks agreements with labour unions for expansion
Eurowings has signed agreements with the Verdi trade union and Vereinigung Cockpit pilot union that will enable the airline to grow rapidly, especially in Germany. The agreement will not only create new jobs for pilots and flight attendants, but also increase the number of Germany-based aircraft. Eurowings MD Joerg Beissel said the agreement “means all our operational units [Eurowings Europe in Vienna and Eurowings Germany] are capable of rapid growth.” The accord also allows Eurowings to shortly tender internally 86 captains’ posts for their co-pilots. For the summer 2018 season, Eurowings will add 30 additional Airbus A320s. Under the old agreement, the carrier’s growth in Germany was limited to 23 A320s. <br/>
