At
around 10:30 a.m., Condor flight DE4095 took off from Frankfurt Airport for the
first time with destination Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER). About fifteen
minutes later, at around 10:45 a.m., Condor flight DE4179 took off from
Frankfurt Airport to Hamburg Airport (HAM) for the first time. From Sunday,
March 2, 2025, Condor will connect the cities on the Spree and Elbe rivers with
the Main metropolis twice a day, morning and evening.
“With
our city flights, we are adapting our flight schedule to the needs of our
guests,” says Peter Gerber, CEO Condor. “Berlin and Hamburg are cities that are
popular destinations for both business and leisure travel. We are also opening
up further connecting options for our guests: After all, the Condor long-haul
network from Frankfurt of course also offers our guests from Berlin and Hamburg
many attractive destinations.”
On
board the city flights
All
flights are operated in a two-class cabin configuration with Business Class and
Economy Class. On board, Business Class guests enjoy the usual seating comfort
with a free middle seat and are provided with drinks and a high-quality snack.
Guests in Economy Class receive complimentary water and a small sweet treat.
Among
others, brand-new Airbus A320neo and A321neo aircraft will be in operation on
the routes to Berlin and Hamburg. With the PW1127G, the new Condor aircraft are
equipped with the latest generation of engines from Pratt & Whitney, which
not only reduce fuel consumption by 20 percent, but can also be operated with
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The aircraft also emits up to 20 percent less
CO2 and up to 50 percent less noise. This translates into a kerosene
consumption of 1.9 liters per passenger per 100 kilometers on board an A320neo
– while offering maximum customer comfort.
Tickets
for flights to Berlin and Hamburg can be booked at all travel agencies or
online at https://www.condor.com.
