New non-stop service between the Edmonton International Airport and Frankfurt, Germany will be offered starting next year.
The Condor Airlines flight will start on May 26, 2023. The seasonal summer service runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays until Sept. 1, 2023.
“As we come out of the shadows of the pandemic and we see travel is clearly starting to rebound, Condor is excited to announce the Alberta traveller a more affordable route to Europe,” said Christian Cirillo, sales manager for North America for Condor Airlines.
He described the airline as Germany’s leading leisure airline.
“Condor is known for its value-focused economy class, but we also boast top of the line business class and premium economy as well,” Cirillo said. “In 2024, you will have the pleasure of flying on our brand new A330 Neos, which features a completely redesigned business class and entire cabin.”
The announcement has been a long time coming. The original plan was to announce the new service in 2020, but Cirillo said that did not come to fruition for obvious reasons.
Edmonton Mayor Amarjeet Sohi called the new service a win-win for everyone involved.
“For business growth, for people who want to travel from Europe and Germany to Edmonton and Edmontonians who want to travel to Europe and to other destinations,” he said.
