The
Condor A330neo D-ANRO took off as flight DE2368 from Frankfurt to Phuket on
Saturday at around 15:10 local time. On Sunday, flight DE2362 then brought
guests from Frankfurt to Bangkok. In both Phuket and Bangkok, the first Condor
passenger flight was warmly welcomed at a reception with representatives from
Condor, the airport and the tourism association.
From
now on, guests have the opportunity to fly with Germany's most popular vacation
airline four times a week to Phuket and five times a week to the capital of
Thailand. All flights to Thailand will be operated with the brand-new A330neo.
On board the new aircraft, guests can expect maximum customer comfort, a
significantly more spacious feeling, first-class in-flight entertainment and
connectivity in all classes. The three Airbus A330-900neo aircraft are also
equipped with state-of-the-art Trent 7000 engines from Rolls Royce, which can
be operated particularly efficiently and with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)
thanks to the latest technology.
In
addition to the new destinations in Thailand, Condor is now also flying again
to the popular winter long-haul destinations of Cape Town, the Maldives and the
Seychelles.
Flights
with Condor can be booked at all travel agencies or online at www.condor.com/en.
