Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) announced that easyJet has based its first Airbus A321neo at the hub and, as part of the move, launched a twice-weekly service to Seville on 27 October. The route will operate every Monday and Friday throughout the winter 2025/26 schedule, restoring a direct connection that Andalusian tourism boards have lobbied for since Germania collapsed in 2019.
For Spain’s hospitality sector the timing is vital: German arrivals were still 11 % below pre-pandemic levels this summer. Andalusian hoteliers fear that biometric Entry/Exit System (EES) checks coming into force across Schengen could lengthen queues; easyJet’s larger-capacity A321neos help absorb demand peaks while lowering CO₂ per seat.
Corporate-travel managers gain an alternative to Lufthansa’s hubs, cutting one-way journey times by up to two hours for engineers shuttling between Andalusian solar projects and Berlin’s clean-tech cluster. The route also feeds IAG and Star Alliance networks via interline partnerships, so assignees can through-ticket from Seville to Eastern Europe without overnight stops.
easyJet hinted that additional Spain capacity will follow when a second A321neo arrives in early 2026, making BER a springboard for cost-conscious business traffic to secondary Spanish cities.
