German airline Condor today marked the official start of construction of a new temporary hangar for Condor Technik GmbH at Frankfurt Airport with a ceremonial groundbreaking event. The lightweight structure, located in Cargo City South, will provide approximately 6,400 square meters of space and accommodate maintenance work on either one Airbus A330 aircraft or two Airbus A32X family aircraft simultaneously.

The project is being realized in cooperation with partners SpanTech International SA as hangar constructor, KAP Architektur Development, WPV Baubetreuung, and Fraport, and is scheduled for completion in early 2027.

“Modern aircraft require modern technical infrastructure. With this new temporary hangar, we are creating additional maintenance capacity for our fleet, strengthening our in-house technical expertise, and gaining greater operational flexibility at our Frankfurt base,” said Heiko Holm, Chief Technical Officer of Condor and Managing Director of Condor Technik GmbH. “This project is an important milestone in the continued development of Condor Technik and a clear commitment by Condor to the Frankfurt location.”

Since 2008, Condor Technik GmbH has served as Condor’s maintenance organization and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the airline. The company employs approximately 450 people across its locations in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and Munich.

With the new temporary hangar, Condor Technik will establish its first dedicated maintenance capabilities for the Airbus A330neo fleet at Frankfurt Airport. This will reduce reliance on external infrastructure while increasing flexibility in maintenance planning and execution.

At the same time, the investment strengthens technical value creation at Condor’s home base by enabling a greater share of maintenance services to be performed in-house. The additional capacity provides the foundation to support the continued growth of the A330neo fleet independently and further expand the airline’s technical expertise in a sustainable manner.

The investment not only enhances Condor’s competitiveness but also contributes to the long-term safeguarding of highly qualified jobs and reinforces Frankfurt’s position as a leading aviation hub.
