In April 2020, Lufthansa announced a major downsizing for Eurowings in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While Germanwings has been shut entirely and Eurowings is to phase out several aircraft, most wet lease contracts have been ended on short notice. Amongst the terminated agreements was the largest one with German Airways (formerly LGW) for their entire Bombardier DHC-8-400 fleet.

In February 2021, Lufthansa announced it would take over most of the Eurowings' routes at Munich Airport with the exception of a few domestic services and flights to Palma de Mallorca and Pristina.

In early 2021, Eurowings removed all of their long-haul destinations, which had been served from Düsseldorf, Munich and Frankfurt from their network. At the same time, parent Lufthansa announced the foundation of their new long-haul carrier Eurowings Discover.
