According to Wikipedia, Germanwings GmbH is a low-cost airline based in Cologne, which is wholly owned by Lufthansa. Its main hubs are Cologne Bonn Airport, Stuttgart Airport, Hamburg Airport, Berlin Tegel Airport and Düsseldorf Airport; further bases are Hannover Airport and Dortmund Airport.
In January 2013, Lufthansa started to move its entire short-haul operations outside its main hubs in Frankfurt and Munich to Germanwings.
In 2012 Lufthansa announced that it plans to transfer point-to-point shorthaul flights operating from cities other than Frankfurt and Munich from Lufthansa to Germanwings.[6] Therefore the company received a revised corporate design. The transfer of Lufthansa’s shorthaul routes takes place between spring 2013 and autumn 2014 with Düsseldorf Airport being the last base to be transferred from March 2014.
