Another new airline has joined Gatwick Airport and launched its first route in the UK.
Condor has become the fifth new airline to join London Gatwick Airport in less than two weeks.
The German carrier will be flying to Frankfurt, strengthening the airport’s growing short-haul network and expanding connectivity.
Condor launches its first-ever UK route from Gatwick Airport
Condor has launched its new three-daily route to Frankfurt starting yesterday (Wednesday, April 1).
All flights are from London Gatwick’s North Terminal and offer morning, afternoon, and evening flights, allowing for same-day returns and convenient travel planning.
It is designed to cater to both business and leisure passengers, offering options for weekend getaways as well as business trips.
The newly launched route also offers passengers access to onward destinations via Frankfurt, one of Europe’s busiest international hubs.
Jonny Macneal, head of aviation development at London Gatwick, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Condor to London Gatwick, offering passengers even greater choice with this new, frequent service to Frankfurt.
“Whether travelling for work, leisure or to see loved ones, the route provides fantastic flexibility and connectivity.
“Condor’s arrival marks yet another exciting landmark in what has been a period of significant growth for the airport.”
