With today’s inaugural flight, Condor is expanding its offering from Frankfurt with a daily service to Bangkok via Abu Dhabi. The route is operated in codeshare with Etihad Airways. The aircraft received a ceremonial send-off in Frankfurt, and guests will be welcomed with a ceremony on arrival in Abu Dhabi.

“With our daily service from Frankfurt to Abu Dhabi and onward to Bangkok, we are expanding our winter offering to Thailand with an additional travel option. Together with our existing nonstop service, Condor guests can now travel from Frankfurt to Bangkok twice daily,” said Peter Gerber, CEO of Condor. “At the same time, we are further strengthening our partnership with Etihad Airways. Via Abu Dhabi, travellers can connect to numerous destinations across our partner’s international network. On long-haul flights, we offer modern Airbus A330neo aircraft, a premium Business Class and Condor’s attentive onboard service.”

More connections via Abu Dhabi
Wei Jin, Etihad Airways Interim Chief Revenue & Commercial Officer, said: "Condor’s daily Frankfurt service is an important milestone in our growing partnership. By connecting our complementary networks we create more choice for customers travelling between Europe, Abu Dhabi and beyond, while Condor’s onward Bangkok service adds further connectivity between Europe and Asia. We are delighted to celebrate this launch with Condor today and look forward to developing our partnership further.”

Under the codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways, travellers benefit from coordinated connections via Abu Dhabi. Booking the entire journey on a single ticket and checking baggage through to the final destination make transfers easier. The service links Condor’s offering from Frankfurt with Etihad Airways’ international network, opening up additional travel options to destinations in Asia, Africa and Australia.
