Eurowings and Smartwings have launched the first phase of their codeshare agreement. With immediate effect, Eurowings connections from the new base in Prague to the destinations Cologne/Bonn, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Bristol, Birmingham, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Athens, Larnaca, Heraklion, Málaga, Alicante, Stockholm, Faro, Rome and Mallorca will also be offered under Smartwings flight numbers and marketed via smartwings.com and other channels.

It will allow Smartwings customers to benefit from the growing number of direct connections of the Lufthansa Group airline from the Czech capital. In the next step of the partnership, it is planned that Smartwings flights will also be offered under Eurowings flight numbers.

We are currently seeing a surge in bookings, not only in the Czech Republic, but across our entire route network,” says Eurowings CEO Jens Bischof. “We are pleased that we are able to significantly expand our network through the cooperation with Eurowings,” says Roman Vik, board member and CEO at Smartwings.
