Gatwick network expanded with new German routes 

New routes from Gatwick to Cologne and Stuttgart are being introduced this summer.

Lufthansa Group low fares carrier Eurowings will run 13 flights a week to Cologne from March 29 and six a week to Stuttgart from April 13.

The expansion strengthens growing links with Germany, with Condor also securing slots to operate three daily flights from Gatwick to Frankfurt from April. 

Eurowings already serves Dusseldorf, Hamburg and Cologne-Bonn with direct flights from Heathrow, with Berlin being added from March 29.

Airport head of aviation development Jonny Macneal said:“We’re delighted to welcome Eurowings to London Gatwick, offering passengers even greater choice and convenience when travelling to Germany.  

“These new services reflect the strong demand we’re seeing for European connectivity and underscore London Gatwick’s position as the UK’s most well-connected airport, offering more than 230 destinations this summer.” 

Eurowings head of network relations Reinald Frankewitz added: “We are excited to expand our network in the UK and connect London Gatwick with two of Germany’s strongest cultural and economic regions. 

“These new routes to Cologne and Stuttgart offer travellers even greater choice and convenience.” 

The new routes add to Gatwick’s network expansion, which include Jet2 starting 29 routes from March; Air France introducing a twice daily service to Paris;

Romanian carrier AnimaWings beginning daily flights to Bucharest and Swiss increasing its Zurich service from daily to twice daily.
