Eurowings Discover started operations on 24 July 2021, flying from Frankfurt to Mombasa and Zanzibar with A330, having obtained its air operator's certificate. It is considered to be the main competitor of German leisure carrier Condor which serves several of the routes Eurowings Discover will also take up.[3]
The carrier has already expanded its network to Punta Cana, Windhoek and Victoria Falls. Later in 2021 Eurowings Discover was added flights to Las Vegas, Mauritius, Bridgetown, Montego Bay, Varadero, Canary Islands, Egypt, and Morocco. The fleet is supposed to grow to 10 A320s and 11 A330s by mid 2022.[4][5]
In September 2021, Lufthansa announced it would move responsibility for several mid-haul leisure routes to Eurowings Discover.[6] It based three Airbus A320-200s in Frankfurt serving five destinations on the Canary Islands in late 2021.[7] In September 2022, Lufthansa moved some of its own routes to Canada to Eurowings Discover for the upcoming winter season.[8]
