Condor Orders Seven Airbus A330neo Aircraft; Plans to Lease Nine More

Condor, a German airline based in Frankfurt, has signed an agreement with Airbus for seven Airbus A330neo, and unveiled plans to lease a further nine.

The airline will operate the A330neo on its long-haul network to the Americas, Africa, the Caribbean and Asia.

“We are proud to be the German launch customer for the A330neo,” said Condor CEO Ralf Teckentrup. “Thanks to the latest technology and maximum efficiency of the aircraft, we will be taking off with our new plane from Autumn 2022 with fuel consumption of just 2.1 litres per passenger per 100 kilometres ... On board, our customers can expect the highest levels of comfort in a brand new Business Class, Premium Economy Class and Economy Class. We are looking forward to our new aircraft and to the successful cooperation with Airbus as a strong partner by our side.”

The Airbus A330neo incorporates the latest A350 technologies with A330 profitability and Airbus commonality. The A330neo is powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines and features a new wing with increased span and A350-inspired winglets. The aircraft is also equipped with the Airspace cabin, featuring the latest in-flight entertainment systems and connectivity for passengers and crew.

“By operating the A320 and A330neo aircraft side by side, the airline will benefit from all the commonality economics these two premium products offer, with the embedded flexibility to address new and existing markets with the right-sized, right-efficiency aircraft,” said Christian Scherer, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer and Head of International. “The decision by Condor to modernise its long-haul fleet with A330neos will also set a new benchmark on the airline’s trajectory towards more sustainable flying. We thank and applaud Condor for confirming the competitive value of the A330neo.”
