Warwick, RI/ Chicago, IL, June 18, 2015 – Business travel to Frankfurt and that European family vacation are a little easier and more affordable with Condor Airlines’ new, regularly scheduled seasonal service between Rhode Island’s T.F. Green Airport (PVD) and Frankfurt, Germany (FRA). Flights will operate on Mondays and Thursdays on a Boeing B767-300.

“To our new partner Condor, Dankeschön,and to our new German customers, Willkommen! Today marks a milestone for the airport as this is the first time we are able to offer non-stop scheduled international service to Greater Europe,” said Kelly Fredericks, President and CEO of the Rhode Island Airport Corporation that manages and operates T.F. Green Airport. “This service impacts not only the airport, but the state and region with regard to inbound tourism and business development opportunities. We look forward to a busy season of service and encouraged to see the seats for the 2016 travel season already available for booking.”

Condor’s destination of Frankfurt is a highly populated city in the center of Germany and the financial heart of continental Europe. The region consists of a rich cultural landscape, offering everything from national museums, theaters, operas, pulsating nightlife and much more. Frankfurt is an excellent starting point for tours through Germany and Europe.

Support for the entrance of Condor into the Rhode Island market has been a coordinated effort of the airport working in union with government and travel and tourism partners. As part of the marketing efforts to attract inbound tourism from Germany, the Airport and state tourism partners collaborated on a destination marketing campaign in the German market to raise awareness of the new Condor service to Rhode Island.
