History

About a week after obtaining its air operator's certificate from the Austrian civil aviation authorities, Eurowings Europe departed its initial base in Vienna for Alicante on 23 June 2016, its maiden flight. It has adopted the corporate identity of its German sister airline, Eurowings.

In September 2019, Lufthansa Group announced, that Austrian Airlines will lease four Airbus A320-200 from Eurowings Europe starting January 2020. The airline will also take over some of Austrian Airlines' flights from Salzburg Airport and Innsbruck Airport. The Austrian Airlines wet lease contract for four aircraft in Vienna was withdrawn in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In October 2019, Eurowings Europe took over the base in Pristina from its sister airline Germanwings.

In June 2021 it was announced that Eurowings Europe would expand its European network with the opening of a new base in Prague Airport starting October 2021 with two aircraft based for the winter season and three for the summer. Destinations would include European cities in the likes of Barcelona and Milan and holiday destinations such as the Balearics, Canaries and Tel Aviv.

In July 2022 it was announced that Eurowings Europe GmbH would leave its Austrian registration and it would register in Malta and be renamed as Eurowings Europe Ltd. The move to Malta was expected to lower taxes and cost of operations for the airline, along with reducing income taxes that employees would have to pay. The change took effect on 3 November 2022.
