Antigua and Barbuda tourism officials celebrated the return of Condor Airlines, as the flight from Frankfurt touched down at the V.C. Bird International Airport on November 5, making it the first service from the airline since the COVID-19 pandemic.

To mark the occasion, the Condor flight was welcomed with a ceremonial water cannon salute, followed by disembarking passengers receiving a warm and hospitable greeting from the people of Antigua and Barbuda.

The seasonal service from Frankfurt will run from November 5, 2024, through May 6, 2025, just in time for the winter tourism season.

Antigua and Barbuda Minister of Tourism, Civil Aviation, Transportation and Investment, The Honourable Charles Fernandez, expressed excitement about the re-start of the service. β€œWe are thrilled to welcome Condor back for the winter season. The German-speaking market is our second most important European market, and this direct service opens valuable access to Antigua and Barbuda for central European travellers.”

β€œWith the resumption of the connection between Frankfurt and Antigua and Barbuda we offer our guests another great option to enjoy their holiday in this beautiful country. We are delighted to continue our strong partnership with Antigua and Barbuda. The new A330-900neo with the new Business Class is the perfect product for this wonderful destination”, said Oliver Feess, Condor’s Senior Manager Network Planning.

The newly introduced Airbus A330-900, known for its comfort and advanced features, has a capacity of 310 seats, including 30 business class seats and 64 premium economy seats, tailored to meet the preferences of Antigua and Barbuda’s upscale market.
With a total of 27 rotations tagged with Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, the new service represents a strategic boost for Antigua and Barbuda’s tourism industry.
