Dusseldorf-based Eurowings is 100% owned by the Lufthansa Group. It is a low-cost carrier operating a huge European, northern-African, Middle-Eastern network, but on long-haul flights to Asia, the Indian ocean, the Caribbean and the USA it employs three-class (Business, Premium Economy and Economy) Airbus A330-300 or two-class (Premium Economy and Economy) A330-200 with a good standard of service in the premium cabins.
