Mallorca always works - not only vacationers know that, but also Eurowings. The airline presented its summer flight schedule for 2025 on Thursday (21.11.) and remains loyal to the Germans' favorite island. With up to 21 flights per week between Berlin and Palma, the airline is showing that Mallorca remains untouchable, even if the political winds are blowing increasingly harshly. But not all airlines remain so steadfast.
Three daily flights to Palma - who needs domestic flights?
While Mallorca flights are being expanded, domestic German connections are shrinking. "Sharply increased taxes and fees make these connections unprofitable," says the Eurowings head office. In other words: politicians want to make flights within Germany unattractive, and the airlines are following suit - at least in part. In Hamburg alone, 1,000 connections have been canceled. But Mallorca? Mallorca remains sacred.
Eurowings: "A clear commitment to the capital"
Berlin is becoming a springboard for European destinations. In addition to Palma, Bilbao in the Basque Country and Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia will also be on the flight schedule from 2025. Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings, emphasized the commitment at BER Airport: "Our expansion is a clear signal for Berlin." But it remains to be seen whether the capital will even have time to get excited about Bilbao with so much Mallorca euphoria.
Competition capitulates: Ryanair withdraws
While Eurowings celebrates Mallorca, Ryanair is withdrawing from several German locations such as Dortmund, Dresden and Leipzig. This means that flights to Mallorca from these cities are being canceled. Unsurprisingly, the Irish airline blames the high German aviation taxes for this. And so Mallorca remains accessible for many Germans, but the route there is increasingly taking them via larger hubs such as Berlin.
Mallorca: Floating above it all
Despite all the political debates, the sunny island remains the number one destination of longing. The high demand, the variety of travel options and the unmistakable charm of Mallorca make the island untouchable - even if the skies above German airports are increasingly covered with storm clouds of political regulation.
