London Gatwick boosts German connectivity as Eurowings launches two new routes

Passengers across London and the South East will benefit from greater connectivity to Germany this summer, as Eurowings launches new services to Cologne and Stuttgart from London Gatwick. 

From 29 March 2026, the value airline of the Lufthansa Group will operate 13 flights per week to Cologne, followed by six weekly services to Stuttgart starting 13 April, with tickets now on sale.  

The expansion strengthens Gatwick’s growing links with Germany, with Condor also securing slots to operate three daily flights to Frankfurt from April. 

Jonny Macneal, Head of Aviation Development, London Gatwick said: “We’re delighted to welcome Eurowings to London Gatwick, offering passengers even greater choice and convenience when travelling to Germany.  

“These new services reflect the strong demand we’re seeing for European connectivity and underscore London Gatwick’s position as the UK’s most well-connected airport, offering more than 230 destinations this summer.” 

Reinald Frankewitz, Head of Network Relations, Eurowings said: “We are excited to expand our network in the UK and connect London Gatwick with two of Germany’s strongest cultural and economic regions. These new routes to Cologne and Stuttgart offer travellers even greater choice and convenience.” 

London Gatwick continues to expand its airline portfolio. The airport recently announced that Jet2 – one of the UK’s largest airlines – will begin operations in March with 29 routes, while Air France will launch a twice daily service to Paris the same month. Animawings will begin daily flights to Bucharest and SWISS will increase its Zurich service from daily to twice daily. 

About London Gatwick

With 43m annual passengers, London Gatwick is the UK’s second largest and one of Europe’s top 10 airports. It is a vital piece of national infrastructure that drives both the national and regional economies by generating £5.5bn GVA and supporting over 76,000 jobs (2023). Almost 60 airlines fly from the airport to over 150 short-haul and more than 50 long-haul destinations. With a declared capacity of 55 movements an hour, London Gatwick is the most efficient single runway airport in the world.

The airport is located 28 miles south of the UK capital and is extremely well-connected, with more than a quarter of England’s population (15m people) – including all of London – less than one hour away by road or rail. A six-year, £2bn sustainable growth programme includes an ambitious plan to be a net zero airport by 2030 and to increase capacity by bringing the airport’s existing Northern Runway into routine use, alongside its Main Runway. VINCI Airports owns a 50.01% stake in the airport, with Global Infrastructure Partners managing the remaining 49.99%.
