Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) is set to see a boost in connectivity, thanks to the Lufthansa Group’s ambitious expansion plans.
As the market leader in Berlin, the Group is significantly enhancing its services, offering travelers a wider range of winter season destinations and increased flight frequencies.
SWISS Takes Off to Geneva
Starting October 28, SWISS will launch a daily flight from BER to Geneva. This new route will strengthen the connection between two of Europe’s most vibrant cities, catering to both business and leisure travelers.
Eurowings Adds Dubai and Jeddah
Eurowings, a Lufthansa Group subsidiary, has shown impressive growth at BER in 2024. In just six months, the airline has expanded its services to cover 30 destinations across Europe and the Gulf region.
This rapid expansion has led to a doubling of passenger volume since the pandemic, showcasing the region’s strong recovery in air travel.
Eurowings is set to reintroduce its popular nonstop Berlin-Dubai connection for the upcoming winter season. From October 2024, this route will see a significant boost, increasing from four weekly flights to a daily service.
To support this growth, Eurowings will station an additional aircraft at BER, bringing its total fleet at the airport to seven.
In a further development, Eurowings will also add Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to its flight schedule. Starting this winter, travelers can enjoy three weekly flights from Berlin to this bustling Red Sea port city.
