Condor Flugdienst has unveiled plans to
modernize its single aisle fleet with Airbus A320neo Family
aircraft.
Based in Frankfurt, the German charter airline will achieve
the plan with 41
aircraft acquired through lease and direct purchase agreements.
The aircraft will be powered by Pratt & Whitney
engines.
“After we will have replaced our entire long-haul
fleet with state-of-the-art aircraft by the beginning of 2024, it
is the logical next step for us to modernize our short and
medium-haul fleet as well,” said Ralf Teckentrup, CEO of Condor.
“With our new A320neo and A321neo aircraft, we are consistently
developing our fleet and ourselves as a company, and also taking
care of our own aspiration to enable responsible and at the same
time comfortable travel with significantly reduced CO2 emissions,
significantly lower fuel consumption and less noise.”

By operating the A320neo and A330neo aircraft side
by side, Condor will benefit from the commonality economics these
two aircraft Families offer.
Condor has been operating the A320
for more than 20 years on its network in Europe.
The airline's new A320neo fleet will feature the
Airbus Airspace Cabin.
“Following Condor’s earlier decision to order the
A330neo for its long-haul network, we are doubly grateful the
airline has now also selected the Airbus A320neo Family to modernise its single-aisle-fleet following a thorough evaluation
process. We are proud of such a strong vote of confidence and
welcome Condor as a future all-Airbus operator,” said Christian
Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer and Head of Airbus
International.
The A320 Family models reduce fuel burn and CO2
emissions by at least 20% and noise by 50% compared to
previous generation aircraft they replace.
Since its Entry into Service six years ago, Airbus has delivered
over 2,300 A320neo Family aircraft contributing to a saving of 15
million tons of CO2.
At the end of June 2022, the A320neo Family had
received more than 8,100 orders from over 130 customers.
