Condor has announced new additions to its winter 2025/26 flight schedule. A daily connection between Stuttgart and Dubai will be introduced, along with a second daily flight from Berlin to the same destination. These developments signal a significant lift in the flight frequency connecting Germany to the United Arab Emirates giving Condor breathing space in serving winter warmer climate demand for travel during shoulder seasons.

In addition to the new Dubai services, Condor is expanding long-haul operations from Frankfurt. Starting daily flights to Bangkok, Phuket and Cape Town with three weekly Johannesburg departures. The Panama City route (previously announced for Summer 2025) will remain on two weekly flights through the winter. These updates reflect a strategic shift toward year-round service on routes that have demonstrated consistent interest from leisure travelers.

With these adjustments to the winter flight schedule, we are responding to the high demand and the popularity of the destinations among our guests.
Peter Gerber, CEO of Condor

These changes open up additional routes to peak winter travel and long haul destinations for more direct exposure. Thailand or South Africa are two countries with nice weather and outdoor destinations to visit. Panama also offers a unique mix of city life and natural landscapes. Frequent operation on these routes means more itinerary agility, and access to destinations that simply do not fly year round.

To support its expanded international network, Condor is also increasing the number of regional flights into Frankfurt. Cities including Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Vienna, and Zurich will now have three daily flights each, up from two. This tweak enhances domestic regional connectivity, making it feasible for the DACH region travelers to connect onto long hauls without extended stopovers or transit times.

Condor's introduction of a new schedule update symbolizes the bigger trend in travel patterns at least during the colder months. As winter travel demand is picking up outside of Europe as well, airlines are beginning tailoring their operations to enable more frequent re-routing. These additions give passengers more opportunities to reach popular destinations and make travel planning easier during the winter season.
