Eurowings, Lufthansa Group’s value airline, and Newcastle Airport have celebrated a significant milestone this month - marking 10 years of connectivity between the North East of England and the German city of Düsseldorf.
Eurowings, which was recently awarded a four-star Skytrax award, currently flies twice-weekly year-round to the popular German city.
The route not only provides customers with a direct connection from the North East of England in under 90 minutes, but also offers access to multiple destinations via its base in Düsseldorf, including, Munich, Berlin and Hamburg.
Since the route between the two cities launched 10 years ago, Eurowings has welcomed nearly 250,000 passengers on board.
Leon McQuaid, Director of Aviation Development at Newcastle Airport, said: “Eurowings is a very important airline partner of ours and we are delighted to be celebrating our tenth year of partnership.
“The route connects the North East England region to one of the largest cities in Germany, famous for its international business and financial centre, rich architecture and art scene.
“With flights every Friday and Monday, the route provides a fantastic weekend city break option for our leisure passengers.
“It also provides vital connectivity and trading opportunities for businesses from the North East England and Germany - promoting investment into the region.”
Michael Händel, Vice President Network Management at Eurowings, said: “We are delighted to be celebrating this milestone anniversary, which shows just how popular and important the connection between Newcastle and Germany is.”
The route to Düsseldorf is particularly popular during the winter months, as passengers flock to experience the city's famous Christmas markets, which are known for their festive atmosphere and traditional German charm.
Tickets with Eurowings between Newcastle and Düsseldorf are available year-round with return fares available for less than £130* which can be purchased at eurowings.com or via a local travel agent.
