Re: Condor News and Discussion - 2024

Rumours about a DE-X3 merger are resurfacing. X3 is sub-scale with just 23 aircraft, and flying short haul only where they face significant LCC competition. While not unprofitable, TUI has been trying to find a solution for its German airline business for some time, lastly in 2020. Some will also r...

Re: Condor News and Discussion - 2024

The short haul neo fleet could have wifi installed. All rumours at this point but they seem credible. The long haul fleet is already equipped, of course. Apparently, we should expect something similar to the 'FlyConnect' offering. That would put them a cut above both EW and 4Y in the markets where ...

Re: Oregon Aviation - 2023

My thoughts on 2024… 1. AS will look to add PDX-IAH or PDX-ATL. They are the two largest markets from PDX unserved by AS. 2. Europe will soften a little bit. Condor has already eliminated a PDX frequency in spring and early summer, and we haven’t seen the rumors of CDG or added LHR come to fruition...

Yep. Reviving the good old Thomas Cook Balearics playbook. Mind you, it's an efficient way to generate revenue from smaller German airports. Looks like the frequencies will be pretty decent too. FMO said 4x weekly in their press release. We'll see for the rest once the flights go on sale. Condor is...

Re: Condor News and Discussion - 2023

Condor is expanding its global network with launch of services to Miami (3 weekly) and Calgary (2 weekly). Both destinations are going to be served from FRA by A330-900neo.
YYC is definitely an interesting choice given the fact Lufthansa Group has quite a strong position on this route.

A major change over the past several years is that ai...
