Condor, a German airline, has shared what’s changing in its flight calendar for summer 2026: some routes are getting more flights, while others are being added for the first time. Among the intercontinental changes are increased frequencies to several existing destinations, including Johannesburg in South Africa, Las Vegas in the United States, Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, and Panama City in Central America. Additionally, a trio of new daily services within Europe will begin operating to Barcelona, Budapest, and Venice.

The newly added routes will become part of an existing European flight network that already links several major destinations. Among the cities currently served are:

  • Paris
  • Vienna
  • Milan
  • Zurich

New flights to Barcelona, Budapest, and Venice are expected to expand travel options within Southern and Central Europe. Thanks to these new flights, travellers now have more ways to piece together their journeys, especially if they’re starting out from smaller airports or need to catch another plane somewhere in Germany.

With the summer 2026 schedule, we are responding to the needs and demands of our guests. By expanding our city network, we are consistently pursuing our business model and offering new destinations and connections to the Condor long-haul network for leisure and business travelers alike.
Peter Gerber, CEO of Condor

Barcelona opens access to a variety of architectural landmarks, including Antoni Gaudí’s colourful Park Güell and the city’s Gothic Quarter, known for its winding medieval alleys and historic churches. Travellers can also reach the Costa Brava, a coastal area north of the city known for its beaches and fishing villages. Budapest offers access to famous thermal spas such as Széchenyi and Gellért, and provides scenic viewpoints from Buda Castle and Fisherman’s Bastion along the Danube River.

Venice is a good starting spot if you're heading out to see Italy’s northeastern shoreline or want to drift through the waters of the Venetian Lagoon. Visitors can take a vaporetto to Murano, renowned for traditional glassmaking, or Burano, famous for its canals lined with brightly coloured houses and lace workshops. From Venice, it is also possible to travel inland to Verona, where visitors can explore Roman ruins and locations linked to Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, including Juliet’s House and the ancient Arena di Verona.

With the launch of these additional city routes, travellers have increased flexibility when planning holidays or business trips across Europe. The daily schedules may help simplify itineraries by reducing the need for transfers through major hubs, particularly for passengers departing from secondary airports. These changes also support easier movement between cities for those combining cultural city visits with regional travel by train, ferry, or car.
