Non-stop to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia 

Eurowings launches second long-haul route from BER

Eurowings is now connecting BER with Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. The connection to the harbour city on the Red Sea will be flown three times a week (Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays). Aircraft take off from BER in each case at 9:20 p.m. and arrive in Jeddah at 05:00 a.m. Departure time in the opposite direction is 06:30 a.m. and arrival at BER at 10:35 a.m. Flight time is just over six hours. An A320neo aircraft will be used on the route. Jeddah is already the second Middle East destination that Eurowings flies from BER. Since 27 October, the airline has resumed flights to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and increased the frequency to seven times a week.

Aletta von Massenbach, Chief Executive Officer of Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg GmbH:

“We are delighted that Eurowings is launching a second long-haul flight from BER. With Jeddah and Dubai, the airline is flying to two attractive destinations in the Middle East this winter. This strengthens BER as an airport location, promotes the capital region’s connectivity and opens up attractive holiday opportunities for travellers.”

Jens Bischof, CEO Eurowings:

“By way of the new destination Jeddah and an increase in our successful connection to Dubai, we are further expanding our services at BER and, as Germany's largest holiday airline, are bringing more Eurowings to the capital. Passengers from Berlin and Brandenburg can now look forward to an even greater choice of attractive direct destinations in the winter flight schedule.”

Eurowings will be flying to attractive destinations in Germany, Europe, Africa and the Middle East from BER in the winter flight schedule. The schedule includes the Nordic countries (Helsinki, Gothenburg, Tromsø and Stockholm), classic winter holiday destinations (Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Hurghada) and destinations for family and home visits (Yerevan). The airline will be flying to Faro in Portugal from 14 December.

Eurowings connects BER with Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, starting now. In addition to Dubai, this is the second destination in the Middle East that Eurowings will be flying to from BER.
