Emphasizing stability and reliability, the group is expanding capacity in the Gulf, particularly in Berlin, Vienna, and Zurich.
Eurowings flights from Berlin:
- Berlin to Abu Dhabi: Three weekly flights starting November 3, 2025, the third long-haul destination from Berlin airport alongside Dubai and Jeddah.
- Berlin to Dubai: Increased to up to 11 weekly flights in winter; starting October 26, a daily flight to DXB and from November 4, four additional weekly flights to DWC (flexible morning/evening throughout the week).
Flights from Austrian Airlines:
- Vienna to Dubai will operate 5 times a week between December 2025 and March 2026, using A320neo aircraft at an introductory round-trip price of approximately €314.
Flights from SWISS:
