Hamburg Airport launches winter 2023/2024 flight schedule

"Airlines are also looking at stronger regions in the mountains or in the north as well as the usual holiday destinations," said Dirk Behrens, Head of Aviation at Hamburg Airport. Eurowings will operate a new direct flight to Tromsø, Norway  from December 21, 2023 to meet demand for winter and ski resorts. Flights will be available on Thursdays and Sundays. "The good, year-round good connections to major hubs make it easier to reach more distant countries from Hamburg. Passengers have to change once only to reach many unusual places across the globe in addition to a wide range of direct destinations," he stressed. 

Eurowings will also operate direct flights direct to Erbil, Iraq on Tuesdays and Sundays from December 19, 2023 this winter. In the run-up to the latest winter flight schedule, Spain's Volotea airline began operating flights to Florence, Bordeaux and Lyon twice a week from Hamburg Airport in early October. All three cities are brand new destinations. Condor has resumed flights to Agadir, Morocco with immediate effect while Austrian Airlines will resume weekly flights from Hamburg to Klagenfurt on January 13, 2023.

Hamburg Airport Is Germany's fifth-largest airport and a gateway for the 5.4 million residents of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region.
