In addition to meeting the increased demand for a direct route to the Lebanese capital, the establishment will be a welcome addition to the wide range of destinations already served by Eurowings from the airport.
Eurowings continues its expansion in Sweden and at Swedavia’s Stockholm Arlanda Airport. Since first establishing its Swedish base in the summer of 2022, Eurowings has added a variety of destinations to its offering. This new direct route to the Lebanese capital Beirut will meet the increased demand for travel to the Middle East and is a welcome addition to Arlanda’s total range of destinations.
In addition to Beirut, Eurowings also operates direct flights to Malaga (AGP), Berlin (BER), Cologne/Bonn (CGN), Düsseldorf (DUS), Faro (FAO), Rome (FCO), Hamburg (HAM), Larnaca (LCA), Nice (NCE), Palma de Mallorca (PMI), Prague (PRG) and Stuttgart (STR) from Stockholm Arlanda.
– There is strong confidence in the Swedish aviation market and Eurowings' expanded investment in another direct route from Stockholm Arlanda Airport is a clear sign of this. Swedavia's role is to make it easier for people to meet, and Beirut is a popular destination. The increased accessibility is important for both private and business travelers, both those who want to visit their friends and family but also tourists who want to discover something new travel to the Middle East, says Charlotte Ljunggren, Director of Market and Commercial Development at Swedavia.
– One year after the opening of our base at Swedavia Arlanda Airport, we are proud to expand our Eurowings network from Sweden with our newest route, the one from Arlanda to Beirut. Offering our Swedish customers an attractive route network of affordable flights from northern to southern Europe and beyond, as in the case of our new Lebanese destination, is essential for us at Eurowings. The Swedish market is a perfect match for the affordable quality concept that Eurowings provides. We look forward to expanding our network in the future to offer a wide range of destinations for both tourism and business from Arlanda and to drive the pan-European growth of Eurowings from Sweden, says Michael Erfert, Head of Sales at Eurowings.
