Condor will establish itself at Stockholm Arlanda on May 13, 2027 with a new direct route to Frankfurt. The route will be operated twice a day with aircraft from the Airbus A320 family and will be part of the airline's continued focus on Frankfurt as a hub.

The new route between Stockholm Arlanda and Frankfurt Airport will have two daily departures.

Condor plans to use aircraft from the Airbus A320 family with up to 180 seats on the route.

– Condor's investment in a direct route from Stockholm Arlanda Airport to Frankfurt with two daily departures shows great confidence in the Swedish aviation market, says Aron Backström, Chief Commercial Officer at Swedavia.

Onward connections from Frankfurt

Frankfurt is one of Europe's largest aviation hubs and Condor uses the airport as a base for both European traffic and long-haul routes.

According to Swedavia, the new route provides the opportunity for onward travel to, among others, San Francisco, Vancouver, Johannesburg, the Dominican Republic and Phuket.

– We are making a strategic investment in the continued development of our hub at Frankfurt Airport by expanding our route network, says Dr. Pierre Dominique Prümm, CCO at Condor.

Condor states that the initiative will strengthen connections between the company's European network and long-haul destinations from Frankfurt.

Traffic between Stockholm and Frankfurt will start on May 13, 2027 and will run twice daily.
