As a result, Condor has received half of the long-haul fleet that was ordered after beginning to receive one aircraft per month as scheduled since the end of 2022. The newest member of the fleet and an A330neo carrying the “Sea” livery were delivered for the first time. This completes the long-haul fleet’s color palette and going forward, travelers will fly in the shades “Island,” “Beach,” and “Sea” to the most breathtaking locations on earth.

According to Christian Schmitt, Chief Operations Officer and Accountable Manager Condor, “We have already been able to fleet half of the 18 aircraft ordered with the current aircraft thanks to the great commitment of our Condor team, the well-rehearsed cooperation with Airbus, the suppliers, and the authorities.” The comfort, design, and facilities of the new long-haul aircraft have received positive praise. We are honoured to be able to provide our customers with a brand-new Condor border experience with this and to begin using the A330neo on all long-distance flights in 2024.

In order to replace the present B767 fleet entirely by 2024, Condor aims to receive a total of 18 new long-haul aircraft as part of its overall long-haul fleet renewal programme. The three aircraft colors—”Island”-green, “Beach”-sand, and “Sea”-blue—will be flown in equal numbers. Up to five further purchase options for an A330neo have also been approved by the Supervisory Board, although no orders have been placed as of yet. The next A330neo will also be delivered at the end of this month in the “Sea” color.

Condor’s short- and medium-haul fleet will be replaced by 41 brand-new A32Xneo aircraft, including 13 A320neo and 28 A321neo, when the long-haul fleet renewal is finished. The present Airbus A320/1 and Boeing 757 aircraft will be replaced. In 2024 and 2025, 14 aeroplanes will be delivered in total. As a result of the fleet renewal programme, the Condor fleet will eventually increase overall.
