#Discover – the new name for the Lufthansa Group’s leisure airline

 

(Posted 08th September 2023)

 

What used to be the Lufthansa Group’s Eurowings Discover has successfully rebranded into a new name and sporting a new livery too – say hello to ‘Discover‘ as the new look will be rolled out progressively over the coming months.

Eurowings Discover was the name of Lufthansa’s low cost carrier that that was launched in mid-2021. The airline has a fleet of nearly two dozen A320s and A330s, which operate to North America, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean as well as other long haul destinations in Africa.

Nothing is changing about the substance of the airline, but it is simply being rebranded as Discover Airlines, featuring a totally new livery and branding. Here’s how the airline describes the new branding:

 

It’s not only the name of our airline that’s changing – it’s our whole look. Our new, contemporary, fresh, and yet still sophisticated design conveys precisely this feeling. Fittingly for an airline, it’s inspired by a view of the horizon. More specifically, by the various lines and color nuances that emerge when the blue of the sky meets the landscape. These “skylines” are the most important design element of our brand and arise from various blue tones as well as a sunny yellow. The overall look is clear and sophisticated, but it always reflects most of all the brand’s core in its versatility. That is the joy of travel.’

 

What should one expect from the rollout of the new Discover Airlines branding?

 

  • The first Airbus A320 with the new livery is already flying as of today
  • Over time, aircraft that are new to the fleet, have only received part of the new livery, or are due for a standard livery refresh, will be rebranded
  • Due to production lead times, all aircraft cabins and onboard products will only feature the new Discover Airlines branding as of December 2023; furthermore, disposable items will be completely used up first, and then reordered with the new design
  • Of course all Eurowings Discover tickets will be honored, and the airline will continue to use “4Y” as its two letter code

Until 2023 will the Discover fleet from presently 22 medium and long haul aircraft rise to an anticipated 28 aircraft which will fly tourists to their destinations from both Frankfurt and Munich.
Discover is already the third largest long haul airline within the Lufthansa Group and only Lufthansa itself and Swiss are operating larger long haul fleets.
Austrian in comparison, as is Brussels Airlines, have less wide body aircraft in operation while Discover already has 13 Airbus A330 in service.
Main German holiday airline rival Condor is, in comparison, presently operating 18 long haul aircraft after completing a fleet overhaul earlier this year.
It can be expected that Lufthansa will further boost their Discover subsidiary with additional aircraft and allocating them additional routes to key tourism destinations in the short, medium and long haul market segments.
