Eurowings introduces direct flights Dusseldorf - Rovaniemi for summer

Enhancing Lapland's year-round accessibility with new German connection

Eurowings, a member of the Lufthansa Group, has announced the launch of direct flights between Düsseldorf, Germany, and Rovaniemi, Finland, for the summer season. The service is scheduled to operate from mid-July to the end of August 2025, aiming to bolster Lapland's accessibility during the summer months.

Strategic importance for Finnish tourism

The introduction of this route aligns with Finland's tourism strategy to enhance year-round connectivity to Lapland. Petri Vuori, Finavia’s Senior Vice President responsible for route development, expressed enthusiasm: "We are delighted with Eurowings’ new summer flights to Lapland, in addition to the extensive route offering during the winter season as part of the Lufthansa Group. This route strengthens the year-round accessibility of Rovaniemi and the entire Lapland region."

Opportunities for summer tourism growth

Sanna Kärkkäinen, Managing Director of Visit Rovaniemi, highlighted the potential for increased summer tourism: "Eurowings' new route opens fantastic opportunities for the growth of Rovaniemi’s summer tourism. As part of the Lufthansa Group, the airline provides significant network advantages by connecting flights to other northern destinations. Düsseldorf is a particularly exciting market, as it links both German and Dutch travelers, two markets with long traditions of summer travel to Lapland."

Reinald Frankewitz, Head of Airport & Network Relations at Eurowings, emphasized the airline's dedication to the region: "We are very happy to bring our guests closer to the charms of Finnish Lapland with a direct connection from Düsseldorf in the summer as well.
