Condor plans Frankfurt – Hefei nonstop flight on 13 December 2022, with A330-200, switching to B767-300ER from 16 January 2023. If you wonder where Hefei is, I didn't know either: it is In China at the centre of the province of Anhui.

Condor is to now take delivery of its first A330-900, MSN 1966, next week as the winglet repair was completed. Further A330neo deliveries are to occur in the coming weeks, with a total of 18 new A330-900s joining the fleet by 2024, replacing B767s.

Air Mauritius leased two A330-900s from Condor — one arrived in late December 2022, and another is due very soon. The carrier also plans to buy an A350-900 soon. Surprising for Condor to fly its brand new A330neos for another airline rather than for itself.

And then, Condor is now relying on an A330-300 from Wamos Air and an A330-900 from Air Belgium for long-haul flights to Punta Cana, New York and Toronto, after ending the A330-300 wet-lease contract with SmartLynx earlier than planned due to issues.

Condor is to tentatively maintain its leased A330-200 until 08 January 2024, as the airline continues fleet modernisation with additional A330-900 deliveries.
