Condor broadens its Middle East network and announces its first Airbus A330neo operation to the Gulf region in summer 2026 with new daily nonstop flights to Abu Dhabi (AUH) from its hub in Frankfurt (FRA), beginning in May 2026, followed by daily operations from Berlin (BER) on an Airbus A320neo starting mid-June 2026. The flights will be operated in a codeshare with Etihad Airways. This agreement will also provide seamless connections at Etihad's growing Abu Dhabi hub.

“This codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways is the great foundation on which we are building our new services to Abu Dhabi to better connect Germany's capital Berlin and Europe's financial hub Frankfurt to the GCC and beyond,” said Jens Boyd, Commercial Director and Member of the Executive Committee of Condor. “As we build and expand connectivity within Europe from our home hub in Frankfurt, this first codeshare in Asia is one more step towards Condor becoming a true global player and partnering with the leading airlines across the globe.”

Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer of Etihad Airways, said: "We are delighted to announce this partnership with Condor and welcome their new services to Abu Dhabi. Germany is a vital market for Etihad, and adding Berlin alongside new Frankfurt options meets clear passenger demand – including a direct capital-to-capital link that further strengthens UAE-Germany ties.

Above all, this partnership puts the traveler first: Condor guests will discover Abu Dhabi’s award-winning hub and seamless onward journeys across our extensive network, while our customers will benefit from enhanced connectivity to destinations across Germany and beyond."

The codeshare agreement between Condor and Etihad Airways is based on the joint marketing of the new Abu Dhabi services to and from Germany. Through the cooperation, Condor travelers gain access to Etihad Airways’ global network via the Abu Dhabi hub and benefit from seamless travel experiences with checked-through baggage. This provides attractive onward travel options, to Southeast Asia, Japan, China and Australia. With this codeshare, Condor and Etihad are expanding their global reach and enhancing their offers for guests from Germany, the United Arab Emirates, and beyond.
