Eurowings resuming Bosnia and Croatia operations
The Lufthansa Group’s low cost carrier Eurowings is significantly expanding its flight schedule from June 2020 and will return to Bosnia and Herzegovina, while growing its presence in Croatia, albeit at reduced frequencies. In its schedule up to June 20, the carrier plans to restart flights between Cologne and Sarajevo from June 2 with one weekly service. Although Bosnia and Herzegovina’s airports are still closed for commercial traffic, they are expected to be reopened from June 1. Mostar Airport’s General Manager, Marin Raspudić, said there was little chance the airline would resume its seasonal operations from Dusseldorf and Stuttgart this year.
The budget carrier, which has maintained flights from Cologne to Zagreb throughout most of the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic, will add services to the country’s coast by resuming flights from Stuttgart, Hamburg and Dusseldorf to Split. Its Cologne - Zagreb service will be reduced from two to one per week during the month. Operations from Hamburg and Dusseldorf to Rijeka, from Dusseldorf to Pula and from Cologne to Zadar will restart once per week on June 20. Most of Eurowings’ other destinations in the region are scheduled to resume on June 20 and are yet to be confirmed by the airline. This includes its planned new Stuttgart - Belgrade service. Flights to Kosovo, initially scheduled to resume in June, have now been pushed back to July. Eurowings has been operating numerous repatriation flights to Pristina over the past two months.
Eurowings’ CEO, Jens Bischof, said, “We can feel the growing desire of people to travel again and relax and enjoy their holidays after a long period of travel bans. This is exactly what we are now making possible with our extended summer schedule – reliably, safely and with all due caution. Travelling, whether private or professional, will be possible again”. Eurowings’ parent company Lufthansa will not be resuming any of its destinations in the former Yugoslavia before June 15.
