Condor Airlines welcomed its first brand-new A321neo aircraft on June 19th, a significant addition to its fleet. This modern aircraft commenced its inaugural passenger flight from Frankfurt to Tenerife South (TFS) on Friday as flight DE1478, with the return journey designated as DE1479. Following this initial voyage, the A321neo will be deployed on routes from Düsseldorf to various Greek islands, including Chania, Heraklion, Preveza, and Kos, along with destinations like Jerez de la Frontera and Pristina in Kosovo.
The Condor A321neo boasts a two-class configuration, encompassing both Business Class and Economy Class, accommodating a total of 233 passengers in a 3-3 seating layout. Passengers can enjoy the “FlyConnect” internet and entertainment portal, offering a selection of blockbuster films, classics, children’s movies, and music, all freely accessible for streaming on personal devices. Guests also have the option to purchase data packages for continuous connectivity throughout their flight. The cabin design prioritizes comfort and sophistication, incorporating increased storage space in overhead bins and tailored mood lighting. Combined with Condor’s distinctive color scheme, this creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere for travelers.
Condor Airlines remains steadfast in its path of modernization. Having successfully completed the renewal of its long-haul fleet with factory-new A330neo aircraft in March, the airline is now concentrating on its short and medium-haul routes, with 43 A32Xneo orders in place. The newly acquired A321neo, registered as D-ANMZ, marks the first of 28 such aircraft ordered. Notably, in May, Condor introduced its first A320neo adorned in the vibrant “Passion” livery, which is already in operation.
Condor’s new fleet represents a significant advancement in aviation technology, efficiency, and passenger comfort. The A32Xneo family aircraft are equipped with the latest Pratt & Whitney engines – PW1127G on the A320neo and PW1133G on the A321neo – delivering a remarkable 20% reduction in fuel consumption and the capacity to operate with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). These aircraft also achieve up to 20% lower CO2 emissions and a 50% reduction in noise pollution. Specifically, the A321neo consumes just 1.7 liters of kerosene per passenger per 100 kilometers, while the A320neo consumes 1.9 liters, all while ensuring maximum comfort. Upon completion of its modernization program, Condor will possess one of the youngest and most advanced fleets in Europe, solidifying its position as Germany’s leading leisure airline.
