Germanwings makes 4-5m euros on Romanian market

German-held Germanwings, Lufthansa’s low cost division, which
operates flights from Bucharest to Cologne, Stuttgart and Berlin,
carried 54,000 passengers to and from Romania in the first nine
months of the year, i.e. slightly more than the 1% of the total
number of passengers transported internationally. The operator
collects 4-5 million euros on the Romanian market, according to ZF
calculations, which considers the number of passengers carried and
the average price of an aeroplane ticket. This year Germanwings
expects a similar turnover for its international operations to last
year’s 660 million, with the company carrying 7.6 million
passengers in 2008, according to Andreas Engel, communication
manager of the German company.
