Condor Launches Vienna-Frankfurt Link to Boost Travel Access

Condor, the leisure airline of Germany has introduced a new operational hub at Vienna International Airport and operates daily direct flights to Frankfurt. This is the first time the airline has positioned an aircraft in Vienna, an important launch into the Austrian market. The service will initially operate once a day and is scheduled to increase to twice daily in October 2025, using an Airbus A320-200.

This route strengthens Vienna’s role in Condor’s wider network by connecting Austrian passengers to the airline’s global long-haul destinations via Frankfurt. With over 60 international connections available from Frankfurt—including routes to the Caribbean, Africa, and North America—the new link simplifies travel planning for Austrian residents, particularly for those seeking seamless access to far-reaching holiday destinations.

Travelers departing from Vienna can now explore a broader range of destinations without the need for lengthy stopovers at less efficient airports. A new route opens, more direct methods to Zanzibar, Barbados and Seattle. Additionally, Frankfurt’s extensive global reach enhances options for long-haul trips from Austria’s capital, making complex itineraries more manageable for both leisure and business passengers.

Condor’s summer schedule also includes direct flights from Vienna to Mediterranean holiday favorites such as Palma de Mallorca, Kos, and Rhodes. These routes meet the increasing need for vacations with sun and sea that are at the fingertips of Austrian consumers, bypassing a mandatory connection in Germany during the off season. The addition of these flights underscores Vienna’s growing significance as a departure point for holiday travel.

The Vienna base of Condor is more than just a new flight route, it reflects a wider trend towards decentralizing international air traffic and convenience travel from regional airports. Passengers departing from Vienna are expected to gain from increased flexibility, less disruptions and flows to a larger set of destinations with easier long-haul access too.
