Condor Reduces North America Flights After Lufthansa Legal Setback

A German court ruling limits Lufthansa's obligation to provide discounted feeder flights for Condor, prompting route adjustments.

The German Federal Court of Justice issued a preliminary ruling favoring Lufthansa in a long-running legal dispute with Condor over discounted feeder flight agreements.
Lufthansa is no longer required to transport Condor passengers to Frankfurt at preferential rates, increasing costs and reducing capacity for Condor's long-haul operations.
Condor has removed smaller North American destinations like Halifax, Edmonton, Baltimore, and Phoenix from its summer schedule, reallocating resources to higher-demand routes.
The airline continues to seek a new agreement with Lufthansa, emphasizing the critical role of Lufthansa's feeder network, which connects over 100 cities to Frankfurt daily.
The main legal case remains unresolved, with a final decision pending before the Higher Regional Court in Düsseldorf.
