Condor Airlines began introducing the U.S. market to it’s new long-haul Airbus A330neo Business Class earlier this year to rave reviews. Condor’s Business Class features 30, lie-flat (180 degree) seats in a 1-2-1 configuration with direct aisle access for all guests. The seat conveniently converts to a 76-inch long by 19-inch-wide bed at the touch of a button. Following initial consumer feedback, Condor is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the Lück company, a division of Germany-based EuroComfort Group, to offer Business Class passengers a newly designed seven-layer mattress topper to make sleeping above the clouds even more comfortable. Lück is a leading manufacturer of high-quality pillows, mattresses, quilts, duvet covers and custom-made, sustainable products.
To ensure the best sleep possible, Condor’s Business Class also offers guests a premium pillow, a cozy 6.5-foot blanket, socks, Condor’s signature striped slippers, sleep mask and other amenities. Guests who upgrade to one of the A330neo’s “Prime Seats,” featuring even more space, also receive Condor’s signature pajamas and a premium travel kit. The A330neo whisper quiet Airspace cabin, along with a state-of-the-art air system and lighting system that can be adjusted to a night-time mode, creates the perfect environment to be lulled to sleep and arrive in Frankfurt feeling fully refreshed.
The A330neo aircraft has been introduced on Condor’s nonstop Frankfurt routes from New York/JFK, San Francisco and Seattle/Tacoma and will continue to be rolled-out on flights from Condor’s other North American gateways throughout this summer and into next year. Condor’s entire long-haul fleet will be converted to the new A330neo by 2024.
Condor has partnered with BrewDog, a beer brand from Berlin, to offer guests flying Condor’s non-stop routes a special edition “Ferien Lager,” which loosely translates to “Vacation Lager.” The lager was created exclusively for Condor Airlines and comes in a specially designed yellow striped can to match Condor’s new, eye-catching striped branding. “Ferien Lager” is a light pale that features a balanced combination of Simcoe, Sapphire, Hüll Melon, and Cascade hops. This unique blend of hops not only gives the beer a fruity flavor, but also provides an incomparable aroma. The beer will be complimentary for Business Class and Premium Economy passengers traveling to and from Condor’s 17 North American gateways this summer. Guests in Economy can enjoy BrewDog “Ferien Lager” for just 4.50 Euros.
The joint project was implemented with a great deal of passion, and it is just the beginning of what is to be a long-standing strategic alliance between the two companies.
Condor will fly to Sphinx International Airport (SPX) twice a week via its Frankfurt (FRA) hub from New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX) and Seattle/Tacoma (SEA).
The airport is located on the western edge of Cairo, close to the Pyramids of Giza.
Twice a week, Condor will bring vacationers and culture enthusiasts to the newly built and recently opened airport.
The flights from Frankfurt are operated on Mondays and Thursdays on an Airbus A320.
Connecting flights to and from Frankfurt to/from JFK, LAX and SEA are operated on Condor’s new A330neo.
In addition, U.S. travelers can take advantage of Condor’s interline partners, Alaska Airlines and JetBlue, and their network of feeder flights to JFK, LAS and SEA.
The location of the new airport is ideal. Visitors can quickly and easily reach the New Egyptian Museum and the country’s most famous landmark, the Pyramids of Giza, as well as the Sphinx itself, the airport’s namesake. It is not only the proximity to the pyramids that makes the new airport attractive; the center of the capital Cairo can be reached just as quickly. Condor guests can thus experience the unique Egyptian pyramids in a short time and then explore the metropolis of Cairo.

Second A330neo in “Beach” takes off: After taking delivery of the factory-new aircraft in Frankfurt last Friday, the aircraft took off on April 13 for its commercial maiden flight at around 4:30 p.m. With around 250 guests, the first destination is Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport on Mauritius.
The aircraft with the registration D-ANRJ will thus be the second aircraft of the “Beach” color to join the long-haul fleet with immediate effect. It is the fifth new long-haul aircraft for Condor and the 100th delivery of this aircraft type for the manufacturer Airbus.
Condor A330neo destinations
At the end of 2022, the first factory-new A330neo aircraft took off on its maiden flight to the Indian Ocean. Since then, Condor has received four more long-haul aircraft and expects to receive another on average every month until 2024.
The Condor A330neo currently flies several times a week to Mauritius, the Maldives, Punta Cana, Varadero, New York-JFK and, as of now, Cancún.
Guests can look forward to a much more spacious feel on their flights, the latest generation of in-flight entertainment and, for the first time, onboard connectivity. The new aircraft all feature state-of-the-art engines from the manufacturer Rolls Royce, which are particularly efficient thanks to the latest technology and can be operated with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). The aircraft also feature state-of-the-art flight and navigation systems that have been further developed especially for Condor to meet customer-specific requirements. This enables noise- and CO2-efficient approach and departure procedures, as well as a significant reduction in noise pollution of up to 60 percent.

In addition, personal Bluetooth headphones can be connected to the aircraft’s in-flight-entertainment system.
The cabin also features mood lighting in all three classes that can be individually adjusted to suit the time of day. This helps guests aboard to fall asleep easily and wake up more relaxed.
Modern Elegance with Stylish Accents
Visually, the new cabin product impresses with a stylish color concept featuring the “Condor Marina” and “Condor Earth” color schemes as well as subtle stripes as a recurring design element. This includes a striped badge on every seat as well as uniformly striped headrest covers in Business and Premium Economy Class. This complements Condor’s new branding which is proudly displayed on the exterior of each A330neo. The design of the cabin was implemented by the design agency müller/romca industrial design based in Kiel. Remo Masala, owner of the visionalphabet agency in Berlin, who designed Condor’s new brand identity, guided the process with creative direction.
