Condor Slashes Hamburg Flights, Cancels Routes Amid Rising Costs
Condor has announced significant changes to its operations at Hamburg Airport, including flight cancellations and reductions, as well as adjustments to its summer flight plan for 2025. The airline, which remains the third-largest at Hamburg Airport, has cited increased costs as the reason behind these decisions.
Condor has canceled flights to Samos and Málaga, and reduced services to Kos. Despite these reductions, Condor continues to be the third-largest airline at Hamburg Airport. The airline's CEO, Peter Gerber, has stated that these price adjustments are necessary for economic viability.
The German Federal Network Agency, an independent regulatory authority for aviation charges, oversees charges for airport infrastructure, including those at Hamburg Airport. The European Commission also provides additional oversight. While Condor is reducing its summer flight plan by 13% and canceling planned capacity expansions and new routes, Hamburg will forgo planned growth and additional connections due to these adjustments.
