In view of the higher costs for fuel, for example, the Lufthansa subsidiary Eurowings expects ticket prices to rise again this year. On average, he considers price increases of 10 to 20 percent to be realistic, said Eurowings boss Jens Bischof in a video conference on Thursday.
This is necessary to compensate for the increased costs. However, depending on supply and demand, the increases on individual routes could also be different.
Eurowings focuses on Mallorca, Egypt and Turkey
There is a “daily increasing dynamic” in ticket bookings for the summer, he said. The booking figures are currently around 80 percent higher than a year ago. Eurowings wants to offer about as many seats this summer as in 2019, the year before the corona pandemic.
A special focus continues to be on Mallorca. At the same time, Eurowings is increasingly offering longer connections and is significantly expanding its offering for Turkey and Egypt.
