Condor has placed an order for four more long-haul A330-900neo aircraft with Airbus. The Supervisory Board already approved the order this week. Currently, Condor is already operating 18 A330neo aircraft with three more expected by the end of 2027. Thus, this summer Condor will be flying its long-haul routes exclusively with brand-new aircraft that offer guests maximum comfort above the clouds. With the four additional aircraft, the Condor fleet will grow to a total of 25 highly efficient and modern A330neo aircraft by 2031.

Peter Gerber, CEO Condor commented: “By ordering additional long-haul aircraft, we intend to open up new opportunities in the international business and continue the successful strategy of growth seen in recent years. This summer flight schedule, we are offering our customers a completely standardized product to all long-haul destinations for the first time. The consistently positive customer feedback and the operational stability prove that we are on the right track to continue to count on the A330neo in the future."

Condor has also agreed an option for four further A330neo aircraft. A decision on further orders has not yet been made. The expansion of the fleet supports the commitment in the long-haul segment, which also benefits from the new Condor city flight destinations since this year. The city destinations not only offer guests more options for travel throughout Europe, but are also adapted as connecting flights to the Condor long-haul network. 

Condor completed the renewal of its long-haul fleet in 2024. Since then, travelers on long-haul routes have enjoyed a consistent product that offers maximum customer comfort, significantly more space, connectivity and free in-flight entertainment in a class of its own. In addition, thanks to state-of-the-art Trent 7000 engines from Rolls Royce, the aircraft can be operated with up to 50 percent sustainable aviation fuels.
