BARIG welcomes Düsseldorf Airport as new partner
BARIG and Düsseldorf Airport - (fltr) Ulrich Topp_Henning Pfisterer_Michael Hoppe - (c) BARIG BARIG (Board of Airline Representatives in Germany) supports dialog and intensive exchange with system partners from the aviation sector in order to jointly meet the challenges of the industry. In this context, the association of airlines operating in Germany welcomes Düsseldorf Airport as a new partner. After Munich and Stuttgart, Düsseldorf becomes another airport in BARIG’s partner portfolio. “Air traffic can only perform well if infrastructure and processes are constantly optimized. Airport operations in particular play an essential role in this regard,” Michael Hoppe, BARIG Chairman and Executive Director, states. “There are many complex interfaces between airport operators and airlines where other players are involved as well, for example in ground operations, aviation security, or sustainability. A good, constructive exchange can contribute to further improvements here, and passengers as well as air cargo customers will benefit from this.” At the last BARIG Full Board meeting in Frankfurt am Main on December 13, 2023, representatives of Düsseldorf Airport and the airlines discussed preparations for next year, particularly with regard to upcoming major events in 2024. “After a strong operational performance during the peak season in 2023, where we had significantly fewer delays and minimal waiting times for passengers, we are now starting to plan for the future. From June 14 to July 14, 2024, the UEFA European Football Championship will take place in Germany. This will likely lead to a considerable increase in demand for flights,” Dr. Henning Pfisterer, Senior Vice President Aviation and Accountable Manager at Düsseldorf Airport, reports. “We are preparing intensively for this event and for the entire travel season while also involving our airline partners. The cooperation with BARIG offers us an excellent platform for this.” Düsseldorf Airport is the largest airport in the most populous federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is one of the four largest commercial airports in Germany. Currently, 59 airlines operate flights to the state capital; in 2022, the airport recorded more than 16 million passengers.

First “Mallorca Airbus” lands in Düsseldorf
The first "Mallorca Airbus" landed at Düsseldorf Airport: a brand-new A321neo with the registration D-AEEA. With this addition, Germany's largest leisure airline is consistently continuing its fleet modernization and is now receiving the eighth of a total of thirteen new Airbus aircraft. It is the largest medium-haul jet Eurowings has ever added to its fleet family in its 30-year history. The seating capacity for up to 232 guests has earned the new arrival the nickname "Mallorca Airbus" – fitting for the Cologne-based company's well-known "Mallorca shuttle". In the summer season, the A321neo will be deployed towards the Balearic island with an increased frequency, in order to serve the continuing high demand for the most popular destination in the Eurowings network. The island’s capital, Palma, is served by the Lufthansa subsidiary up to 400 times a week in the high season. "Our incoming bookings are clear: people want to fly on holiday again. With the A321neo, our guests fly with what is currently the most modern, efficient and quietest medium-haul jet in the world," says Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings. Flying more sustainably through innovation and investment Compared to its predecessor "ceo" (current engine option), the Airbus neo aircraft generation is characterized by a 50 percent reduction in noise emissions as well as 15 percent less paraffin consumption, with equally reduced carbon emissions. Eurowings is the first Lufthansa Group airline to equip all 13 Airbus neos with the LEAP (Leading Edge Aviation Propulsion) engine from CFM. The new, significantly larger engines can save another 3,700 tonnes of carbon dioxide per aircraft and year. Thanks to the reduced fuel consumption, the neo also has roughly 500 kilometers more range than its predecessor. Germany's largest holiday carrier has ordered a total of eight A320neo with 180 seats and five A321neo with 232 seats. So far, a total of seven A320neo have been in service, with another aircraft expected in 2024. Eurowings is expected to take delivery of a further three Airbus A321neo in the course of 2023. What will happen to the Mallorca Airbus? Immediately after landing, D-AEEA was officially handed over to Eurowings Technik. The technical operation in Düsseldorf with around 120 employees will carry out the remaining outfitting of the aircraft in the coming weeks. The first commercial flight with passengers is expected to take place in August to Mallorca.
