Eurowings Adds 4 Exciting Sunny Routes from Cologne this Summer
Eurowings Adds 4 Exciting Sunny Routes from Cologne this Summer
Pack your sunscreen, hiking boots, and maybe a translator—Eurowings is turning up the heat for Summer 2025 with four sizzling new destinations from Cologne/Bonn Airport! Starting this summer, travelers can hop on direct flights to Bastia (Corsica), Porto (Portugal), Klagenfurt (Austria), and Erbil (Iraq). Oh, and Funchal (Madeira)? That one’s sticking around for winter and summer now. Because when it comes to island getaways, we don’t do seasonal flings anymore.
Yes, Eurowings is on a mission: more sunshine, more city breaks, more family reunions, and more choices for people who just can’t sit still.

Your Summer Just Got Four Destinations Hotter
Porto, Portugal – Three Times a Week
You had us at port wine. Starting Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, Cologne travelers can escape to Porto’s charming riverside, tiled buildings, and seriously Instagrammable sunsets. This city is all about good food, great vibes, and vino that doesn’t break the bank.
Bastia, Corsica – Saturdays Only, So Plan Accordingly
One flight a week, but oh boy—it’s worth it. With its mix of Mediterranean beaches and rugged mountain trails, Bastia is perfect for both sunbathers and amateur hikers who think they’re Bear Grylls. Corsica is where lazy beach days meet dramatic coastal drives (with minimal effort required).
Klagenfurt, Austria – Mondays and Fridays
This is for the “I want mountains, lakes, and schnitzel” crowd. Nestled in Austria’s south, Klagenfurt is the gateway to Lake Wörthersee, a sparkling body of water so pretty you’ll wonder if it’s been filtered. Fly in, breathe out, and dive in.
Erbil, Iraq – Wednesdays
Looking for something off the beaten path? Say hello to Erbil, one of the world’s oldest cities and a hub for Kurdish culture. Whether you’re visiting family, exploring ancient citadels, or just want to go where your friends definitely haven’t, this once-a-week route makes northern Iraq more accessible than ever.
Wait, Funchal Is Staying?
Yup. Madeira is no longer a winter-only romance. Eurowings will now offer year-round flights to Funchal on Thursdays and Sundays, meaning you can enjoy lush mountains, volcanic coastlines, and wildly twisty roads whenever your heart desires.
Because let’s face it—Madeira is one of those places where you start planning your return trip before you’ve even left.
Cologne/Bonn Gets a Bigger Wing (Literally)
To support all this new wanderlust, Eurowings is increasing its fleet to 17 aircraft based at Cologne/Bonn Airport. That’s a lot of wing power.
Thilo Schmid, CEO of Flughafen Köln/Bonn GmbH, is understandably thrilled:
“These new routes highlight the strength and growth of our partnership with Eurowings. Travellers now have even more choice for holidays, family visits, or city getaways.”
Translation: Cologne/Bonn is becoming the one-stop shop for both your beach escape and your grandma visit.
Bottom Line: More Destinations, More Flexibility, More Summer Wins
Whether you’re craving coastal chill in Corsica, wine and wanderlust in Porto, alpine serenity in Austria, or a cultural deep-dive in Erbil, Eurowings has officially made it easier than ever to go places—without maxing out your credit card or burning your vacation days all at once.
So, go ahead:
- Set that out-of-office reply
- Pack that slightly-too-large carry-on
- And book yourself a summer worth bragging about
Because with Eurowings, Cologne is your runway—and Europe (and beyond) is wide open.
