Eurowings’ first flight from Manchester to Stuttgart took to the skies on Thursday, 9 May.

The new route has been launched ahead of football’s Euro 2024 tournament in the summer and will be popular with fans heading to Germany to take in the action.

Eurowings’ new service will run four times a week on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays using an Airbus A319.

Stuttgart is the third German destination Eurowings serve from Manchester, joining Dusseldorf and Hamburg. It is in addition to a range of other routes to Germany that other airlines operate from Manchester – meaning passengers heading to watch the football or just to visit the country will be spoilt for choice.
