Condor airline route expansions

Overview

German leisure airline Condor has announced several expansions to its flight network. In September 2026, the airline transitioned its nonstop service between Frankfurt and Seychelles to a year-round schedule, utilizing an Airbus A330neo to eliminate previous seasonal gaps. Seychelles Tourism Board CEO Vesna Rakic called the move a “positive development for Seychelles’ air connectivity.”

Expanding its Italian operations, Condor plans to launch two daily flights between Florence and Frankfurt starting May 6, 2027. Lorna Dalziel, Condor’s country manager for Italy, noted that Italy is a “strategic market” for the company, aiming to integrate short and medium-haul connections with intercontinental services. This new route adds to existing connections from Milan Malpensa, Rome Fiumicino, and Venice.

Additionally, Condor has launched a new daily direct service connecting Berlin Brandenburg Airport to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Operated in codeshare with Etihad Airways, this route is intended to provide passengers with connections to destinations in Asia and Australia, such as Bangkok, Sydney, and Hanoi.
