German low-cost carrier (LCC) Eurowings is launching a non-stop service to Germany’s second largest city, Hamburg, from Göteborg Landvetter Airport in Sweden, which is operated by Swedavia. The LCC already offers flights to Düsseldorf from the Swedish hub.
Just in time for the summer season, the new route will start on 1 May, 2022 and will be operated four times a week. Eurowings will be the only airline to fly this route since March 2020.
One of the Gothenburg region’s most important trade partners, Germany is a large market for people travelling to and from the country. It is also the second largest international market for people travelling to Gothenburg and the third most popular international destination. In 2019, nearly 50,000 passengers travelled between Gothenburg and Hamburg – the majority of which originated from Germany and nearly half of them were business travellers.
Hamburg is a popular weekend destination and is appreciated for its architecture, rich cultural heritage, vibrant nightlife, canals and fine parks. Like Gothenburg, it is the second largest city in the country after the capital, but the cities have other things in common. Both offer dynamic port operations that constitute an important element of the city’s commerce and prosperous business sector.
We welcome Eurowings’ investment in another European direct route from Göteborg Landvetter, which is a sign of an attractive and growing region. Germany is one of the largest international markets and business partners for us and for the region, and the route meets the demand from both leisure and business travellers for convenient non-stop air travel to and from Hamburg. The new link is also very important to the tourism industry,” commented Elizabeth Axtelius, Director Aviation Business at Swedavia.
