Condor welcomes first Airbus A330-900

On 19 December 2022, Condor took delivery of its first Airbus A330-900. The aircraft is registered D-ANRA (1966) and arrived at the airline's base at Frankfurt late in the evening.

Airbus engineers worked really hard to deliver the aircraft on time as earlier, on 12 December 2022, the aircraft sustainted damage to its right wing when colliding with a building while being towed at Toulouse-Blagnac. As the damage was minimal, Condor was able to conduct the final acceptance flight on 16 December 2022, clearing the aircraft for delivery.

The A330-900 is the first of a total of eighteen Condor has on order. Its first commercial flight is scheduled to take place in the coming week and will bring it from Frankfurt to Mauritius. Later, the A330-900 will also be deployed to the Maldives and Punta Cana. The airline is using its new A330s to replace its ageing Boeing B767-300ERs.

Condor's current fleet consists of twelve A320-200s, eleven A321-200s, four A330-200s, two A330-300s, thirteen Boeing B757-300s, and nine B767-300ERs.
