Eurowings (EW/EWG), the low-cost arm of the Lufthansa Group, operates a pan-European network from its bases across Germany, Austria, and beyond. Originally established to offer affordable leisure and short-haul options for Lufthansa passengers, Eurowings has developed into a major player in Europe’s budget airline sector.
The Eurowings fleet has 124 active aircraft as of May 2025. Let’s take a look at the newest and oldest aircraft in active service.
| Aircraft type | Number in fleet |
|---|---|
| Airbus A320neo | 8 |
| Airbus A321neo | 5 |
| Airbus A319 | 32 |
| Airbus A320 | 66 |
| Airbus A321 | 6 |

The newest and oldest Eurowings aircraft
The newest aircraft in the Eurowings fleet is D-AENI, an Airbus A320-251neo, built in April 2024 (MSN 11753). Based in Cologne (CGN), the aircraft regularly flies to destinations including Zurich (ZRH), London (LHR) and Palma de Mallorca (PMI).
The oldest narrowbody in the fleet is D-ABNI, an Airbus A320-214, built in January 2002 as MSN 01717. This aircraft is typically based between cologne and Munich (MUC), and operated flights to airports including Barcelona (BCN), Edinburgh (EDI), and Prague (PRG).
The Eurowings fleet isn’t an entirely Airbus story – the airline also utilises a fleet of 7 Boeing 737-800 series aircraft. All of these aircraft are registered in the Czech Republic and are also used by Smartwings (QS/TVS). Both Eurowings and Smartwings utilize a partnership where they share aircraft and codeshare flight numbers. Eurowings leases aircraft from Smartwings, and Smartwings also uses Eurowings aircraft, particularly during peak travel seasons. The oldest of these is OK-TVF, a 20-year-old Boeing 737-8FH built in April 2005.
