The Embraer ERJ-135ER has arrived on time, and has proved to be an immediate sucess. This Embraer has been placed on three (3) routes that had been formerly occupied by one of our Raytheon Beech 1900D aircraft, which has been since sold.

"We are please with the results of this aircraft," said Steven A., CEO of Condor Flugdienst. "Condor Flugdienst will place an order for 2 more Embraer 135ER regional jets shortly." Our last Raytheon Beech 1900D aircraft will be sold in favour of these Embraer Regional Jets.

Condor Flugdienst Returns Frankfurt Gates

Condor Flugdienst has unexpectantly closed down its main base, Frankfurt, and moved it's operations to Dusseldorf. Gates from Nurenburg have also been dropped.

"We moved because we felt that the limited number of gates at Frankfurt would be hard to expand into," said CEO Steven A.

Because of the lack of expansion from Frankfurt, and there being too many airlines, Condor Fludienst's application to Third Rock Alliance (3RA) had been rejected.

"I am not set back by this," said CEO Steven A. "It merely inspires us to to better as a whole."

Condor Flugdienst is currently looking for an alliance to join.

"Condor has started domestic Italian service with one of our ATR 42-500 aircraft that had previously been used on domestic German service," said CEO Steven A.

Boeing Triple 7 Comes Out On Top
October 18, Year 3

Condor Airlines has voted in favour of Boeing 777-200LRs over the Airbus A330-300. Condor's decision has come mainly because of the fact that the Boeing 777-200LR has great operating economics, and will have fleet commonality with Condor Airlines' future Medium and Long-Haul fleet; the Boeing 777-200, Boeing 777-200ER, and the Boeing 777-200LR.

Condor Airlines' Airbus A330-300 is planned to be sold to a Golden Wings Alliance member, however, there have been little talk as to what price, and which airline.
