The Port of Seattle welcomes the announcement that the German low-cost carrier Eurowings will begin seasonal, nonstop service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Cologne, Germany beginning in July. By next summer, Seattle will have service to three destinations in Germany on three airlines—Frankfurt (Lufthansa and Condor), Munich (Condor, also beginning July), and Eurowings’ new service to Cologne.
Eurowings will fly three weekly flights from Seattle to Cologne/Bonn Airport from July through October 2017 using 310-seat Airbus A330-200 aircraft. Flights will operate Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays on the following schedule:
Flight Schedule - Begins July 11.
Cologne is Germany’s fourth-largest city and is the center of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area, home to more than 11 million inhabitants.
Eurowings, part of the Lufthansa Group, is a low-cost leisure airline that focuses on providing customers with affordable flights to more than 130 destinations in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Seattle is one of only four Eurowings destinations in the United States.
Eurowings is the third new international service to be announced for 2017, joining Virgin Atlantic to London (taking over from Delta in March) and Condor to Munich (beginning in July). Overall in 2016, Sea-Tac has welcomed service or announcements from five new airlines: Spirit, Volaris, Virgin Atlantic, Xiamen and Eurowings.
In early 2017, Sea-Tac airport will break ground on a new, multi-level, 450,000 square-foot International Arrivals Facility located east of the current Concourse A. The new International Arrivals Facility will be completed in late 2019.
