Just a day after announcing a new direct flight route between Düsseldorf and the Azores, Eurowings - part of the Lufthansa Group - has unveiled a historic initiative to upgrade its fleet. The airline, which will resume flights to Israel on February 1, has received approval to acquire 40 new Boeing 737-8 MAX aircraft.
The planes will be delivered gradually between 2027 and 2032, representing the largest sustainability project in Eurowings’ 30-year history. The $5 billion investment is aimed at improving both operational efficiency and environmental impact, with the new aircraft consuming 30% less fuel and significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to older models.
The modern fleet will replace the company's existing Airbus A319 and older A320 planes. Each Boeing 737-8 MAX offers 189 seats - 39 more than the A319 - and a longer flight range, enabling Eurowings to expand its medium- and long-haul route offerings.
Passengers can look forward to enhanced comfort with redesigned cabin interiors, reaffirming Eurowings' commitment to providing a modern and sustainable travel experience.
