FRANKFURT- Condor Airline (DE) is likely to discontinue service to two US destinations, Baltimore (BWI) and Minneapolis (MSP) from its Frankfurt hub starting summer of 2025, as all flights for these routes have been removed from the airline’s booking system.
The German leisure carrier currently serves Baltimore (BWI) with three weekly flights and Minneapolis (MSP) with three weekly frequencies, Ishrion Aviation reported.
Condor US Destinations Cuts
These potential cuts would eliminate Condor’s presence in two major U.S. markets where it has established seasonal operations.
Beyond these route suspensions, Condor has also scaled back its previously announced Seattle (SEA) frequency increase. The airline had planned to add four additional weekly flights to its existing daily service but has now withdrawn this expansion from sale.
The Miami (MIA) route faces scheduling adjustments, with frequency changes potentially shifting between two and four weekly flights for the summer 2025 season.
Industry analysts suggest Delta Air Lines (DL), despite its strong Minneapolis hub presence, likely won’t fill the void. Delta’s recent German market performance, marked by service reductions, coupled with Condor’s strength in capturing Europe-originating leisure traffic, makes such a move improbable.
Condor currently maintains an extensive North American network spanning 17 destinations, including major U.S. markets like New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX), and San Francisco (SFO), alongside Canadian destinations such as Toronto (YYZ) and Vancouver (YVR). Many of these routes operate daily during peak seasons.
UPDATE: Condor has announced the cancellation of flights to six North American cities:
- San Antonio (SAT)
- Phoenix (PHX)
- Baltimore (BWI)
- Minneapolis (MSP)
- Halifax (YHZ)
- Edmonton (YEG)
This change leaves San Antonio without its only transatlantic connection, Ishrion A reported.
