Frankfurt, 3 December 2019 - Condor is topping up its 2020 summer flight schedule: Germany's most popular leisure airline will be flying non-stop from Frankfurt to Edmonton in Canada for the first time as of June 2020. Flights to the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta can be booked from 349.99 euros per person one-way and are offered every Monday and Thursday. In addition, long-haul destinations from Munich will be on the flight schedule again in summer 2020, with a Boeing 767 stationed in Munich as of May 2020: Condor flies from the Bavarian state capital to Cancun in Mexico on Mondays, to Halifax in Canada on Fridays, to Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) on Wednesdays and to Seattle (USA) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. As of today, flights from Frankfurt to New Orleans (USA), Barbados and Tobago in the Caribbean can also be booked from Frankfurt.
"With the additional long-haul flights next summer, we are ideally expanding our existing summer flight schedule 2020 - not only with the new destination Edmonton in Canada from Frankfurt, but also with the non-stop connections from Munich," says Ralf Teckentrup, CEO of Condor. "We are thus offering our guests in southern Germany an even greater selection of direct connections to their holidays and are strengthening our presence in Munich with a stationed long-haul aircraft.“
The destinations Cancun, Punta Cana and Mauritius will be served from Munich in the current 2019/20 winter season. Mexico and the Dominican Republic are therefore in the Condor flight schedule all year round from Munich and Frankfurt. The connections from Munich to Halifax (Canada) and Seattle (USA) in the summer of 2020, on the other hand, will be completely relaunched.

Condor takes off again with its own logo
The Condor logo returns to the tail of the aircraft. For trademark reasons, the Thomas Cook logo and the heart logo must be completely removed after the final separation from Thomas Cook. The tail fins of the Condor aircraft will be revised with decals in the coming weeks as part of their regular maintenance. The rest of the livery will not change. "The Condor logo stands for a brand that has been Germany's most popular leisure airline for 64 years. We are proud of this," says Ralf Teckentrup.
