Demand for German flights to the Greek and Balearic Islands and to Italy has tripled in the last few days, Lufthansa airlines said on Tuesday, including data from its subsidiary Eurowings, ANA reports.
The spike in all reservations, including the United States, is attributed to Covid-19 vaccinations and the German government’s decision to withdraw the obligatory self-isolation once its residents return from abroad.
In Europe, the airline expects to supplement its existing itineraries from German airports to Greece, Majorca, and Ibiza with over 500 flights. In Greece, for example, the airline will add direct flights to 12 tourist destinations in Greece, while demand for some Spanish destinations is as high as that of 2019. Interest is also growing, Hohmeister noted, for farther destinations like the Maldives, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic.
