Condor also responds to increased costs in Hamburg: 13 percent fewer flights in summer 2025
Condor
is reducing its flight program from Hamburg by 13 percent and announcing the
decision to cancel planned growth at the location with additional frequencies
and completely new destinations. Connections to Samos in Greece and Malaga in
Spain will be completely removed from the flight schedule, while flights to Kos
(Greece) will be significantly reduced. Condor had also planned to add a total
of four new destinations from Hamburg with several weekly connections, thus
better connecting the Hanseatic city to the rest of the world.
“We
are not only cutting capacity in Hamburg, but also our planned growth in summer
2025 - a logical consequence of the threat of a completely disproportionate
increase in charges in Hamburg,” says Peter Gerber, CEO of Condor. “With these
significantly increased costs, we are not only forced to relocate flights from
Hamburg to other locations, but also to increase prices. This is particularly
regrettable for our customers there, especially as Hamburg had reliable
solutions that would have prevented such a development. To date, this has
failed due to the airport's unwillingness to reach an agreement with the
airport users.”
Peter
Gerber, who is also President of the Federal Association of German Airlines
(BDF), emphasizes that the Hamburg case clearly shows that a sustainably
competitive cost structure is needed at German aviation locations. “To achieve
this, politicians must urgently set the course for a correction.”
Condor
is the third largest airline at the location with its flights from Hamburg. The
flight schedule includes vacation destinations in Greece, the Balearic Islands,
the Canary Islands and the Spanish mainland, Madeira, Egypt, Italy, the Algarve
and Turkey.
