aviation, Eurowings expands summer flight schedule from Salzburg – Aviation.Direct

With summer 2025, Eurowings is expanding its route network from Salzburg to include one of the most popular cities in Europe: Barcelona. From April 11th there will be direct flights to the Catalan metropolis twice a week. This new connection not only enriches the already diverse range of summer destinations from Salzburg, but also fulfills a long-held wish of passengers and the region’s economy.

The announcement was greeted with enthusiasm, as Barcelona is considered a vibrant center for art, culture and history and is an ideal starting point for city breaks and excursions to the surrounding regions. What is particularly noteworthy is that the new route was realized in collaboration with Eurowings, Salzburg Airport’s most important airline partner.

Another milestone for Salzburg Airport

Salzburg Airport is equipped with new connections and information for attractiveness without a location. Bettina Ganghofer, managing director of the airport, emphasized: “Barcelona has been a great wish of our guests for years. After intensive negotiations, we were able to find the best partner for this route in Eurowings.” The new connection is scheduled to be offered until the end of October 2025 and is part of an extensive summer program that already includes numerous dream destinations.

Existing travel destinations include popular Greek islands such as Rhodes, Kos and Zakynthos as well as other attractive places such as Olbia in Sardinia, Lamezia Terme in Italy and Larnaca in Cyprus. Spain is a particular focus, with destinations such as Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Gran Canaria and Tenerife. This success story continues with the new Barcelona connection.

Barcelona: See our metropolis

Barcelona offers an incomparable mix of history, architecture and joie de vivre. The city is known for the works of visionary architect Antoni Gaudí, particularly the world-famous Sagrada Família and the colorful Park Güell. The Gothic quarter Barri Gòtic also attracts visitors with its medieval streets and historical buildings such as the Cathedral of Barcelona.

Barcelona also impresses with its location on the Mediterranean, the flow of visitors to the extensive beaches and the lively harbor. Attractions such as the Castell de Montjuïc or Plaça Reial can easily be combined with a walk or a cable car ride, which also offers spectacular views of the city and the sea.

Catalonia: A paradise for explorers

For travelers looking to explore the region beyond the city limits of Barcelona, ​​Catalonia offers a wealth of options. The rugged mountains of Montserrat with their famous Black Madonna attract pilgrims and nature lovers alike. Wine connoisseurs can visit the Penedès wine region and taste first-class wines from traditional winemakers. The charming coastal town of Sitges with its picturesque streets and culinary highlights is also a popular travel destination.

For the adventurous, the Pyrenees offer spectacular hiking routes and medieval mountain villages. Those interested in history can travel back in time to the Roman archaeological sites in the Vallés Oriental. This diversity makes Barcelona and its surroundings an unforgettably beautiful travel destination.

A strong sign for the region

With the new connection to Barcelona, ​​Eurowings is sending a strong signal for its commitment to Salzburg Airport. Reinald Frankewitz, Head of Network Relations at Eurowings, explained: “We are pleased to be able to offer guests in Salzburg another direct connection to one of Europe’s top travel destinations.” The route is not only a benefit for the airport, but also strengthens it also the regional economy and tourism.
