Condor Launches Inaugural Flight to Haikou, Expanding China Network

International

Seasonal service strengthens presence on Hainan Island and responds to peak holiday demand

Condor has celebrated the inaugural flight to Haikou on Friday, 6 February 2026, marking a further expansion of its China programme. With the new service, Condor is serving Haikou Meilan International Airport for the first time, the primary international gateway to China’s island province of Hainan.

Seasonal service timed for Chinese New Year demand

The new route is operated as a seasonal service twice weekly until 9 March 2026. Flights depart Frankfurt on Sundays and Thursdays, operate via Bangkok, and arrive in Haikou on Mondays and Fridays. The schedule is designed to meet increased demand during the Chinese New Year travel period.

Strengthening Condor’s footprint in China

By adding Haikou to its network, Condor deepens its engagement in the Chinese market and further expands its presence on Hainan Island. The new service complements Condor’s existing flights to Sanya, which have been offered since July 2025, increasing capacity for both leisure and business travellers between Europe and China.

Haikou emerging as a key hub on Hainan

Haikou is gaining significance as a major transport hub and tourism centre in southern China. The new connection enhances Condor’s Asia portfolio and provides travellers and distribution partners with additional access to the rapidly developing Hainan region.
