COLOGNE- Eurowings (EW), the Lufthansa Group’s low-cost carrier, launches its first dedicated business class seat on narrow-body aircraft.
The new “Premium Biz” product starts commercial service on Saturday, November 22, 2025, on nonstop flights from Berlin Brandenburg (BER) to Dubai International (DXB).
Unlike traditional European business class that blocks the middle seat in standard economy rows, Premium Biz offers visibly larger and more adjustable seats for a separate surcharge starting at €399.99 one-way.
Eurowings New Premium Business Seats
Technicians completed installation of the new Geven seats on the first two Airbus A320neos on Friday, November 21, 2025.
The front 2 rows now contain 8 seats in a 2-2 layout. Each seat provides significantly more space, deeper recline, adjustable leg rests, and footrests operated by two push buttons.
Additional features include tablet holders, USB charging ports, individual cocktail tables, and improved privacy.
In-flight entertainment screens are not installed, keeping the product positioned below long-haul business class but well above classic BIZclass.
The first aircraft operates the BER-DXB route daily. The second aircraft serves as backup and flies various short and medium-haul routes, where passengers may receive the Premium Biz seat at no extra charge if substituted.
Six-Month Record
Eurowings made the final decision in February 2025. Reported by Aero Telegraph, Chief Technology Officer Matthias Gruber called the timeline remarkable: “About half a year is truly impressive for a project like this.
The biggest challenge was: could we get it done with the supplier within this short timeframe?”
The project required rapid regulatory approvals, seat specification, cabin layout changes, and supplier coordination.
Bookings for the Premium Biz seat upgrade opened in August 2025 and remain available exclusively on their official website.
Head of Product and Marketing Clemens Strauss explained that passenger feedback on existing business-class offerings clearly requested more comfort on longer medium-haul routes.
If commercial performance and satisfaction meet expectations, Eurowings plans to extend Premium Biz to additional aircraft.
Future Outlook
A decision on equipping the 40 Boeing 737 Max aircraft, due to enter the fleet at the end of 2027, will be made in 2026.
In a September 2025 interview with Aero Telegraph, CEO Jens Bischof confirmed the airline continues to evaluate orders for further 737 Max jets.
The swift introduction of Premium Biz positions Eurowings as the first German carrier to offer true reclining business class seats on narrow-body medium-haul flights, setting a new standard for the Lufthansa Group’s value segment.
