For the first time the carrier plans to show its innovation to the general public at the ITB Berlin exhibition in March 2018. According to the executive director of Eurowings Oliver Wagner, the business class will be in demand on routes from Europe to the US.
“We see strong demand for another top product from our company on routes with a higher proportion of business travel, for example on US flights from Dusseldorf to New York, Miami or Fort Myers. We’ll be entering the Bizclass race with our usual budget-priced Eurowings tickets”, said Oliver Wagner.
