Eurowings Europe opens Salzburg base

Eurowings Europe opened a base in Salzburg, Austria Jan 11, the LCC’s second base after Vienna. The Salzburg network will include 30 weekly flights to Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne, Brussels, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Palma de Mallorca, Olbia, Spilt, Dubrovnik and Saloniki. “We will offer a total of 480,000 seats in the first year from Salzburg,” MD Michael Knitter said, adding, “The one based [Airbus] A320 will create 35 new jobs.” Knitter said Eurowings will double its Vienna-based fleet to 6 aircraft by adding 3 wet-leased A320s from Airberlin in 2017. In the first year, the Vienna operation transported 400,000 passengers on more than 3,000 flights. The company received its AOC in Austria in June and launched its first flight from Vienna to Alicante June 23, 2016. <br/>
