Eurowings has gone through a major transformation in recent years. It was part of Lufthansa Regional until October 2014. At that time it began operating on behalf of Germanwings within their network. Since spring 2015, Eurowings has been redeveloped into a low-cost airline for short- and long-haul flights. By October 2015, it had also started to incorporate Germanwings' route network as part of the merger of the two brands.
Eurowings operates out of bases in Germany, and its Malta-based subsidiary Eurowings Europe operates out of bases in other European countries. All flights operated by both carriers are scheduled, marketed and sold by Eurowings.
