Last weekend, Condor airline expanded its European route network and now offers non-stop flights from Frankfurt to Rome and Palermo. The inaugural flight, DE4419, took off from Frankfurt on Saturday, April 5, 2025, and initially landed in the Italian capital. From there, the flight continued to Palermo. The first return flight from Palermo via Rome to Frankfurt departed on Sunday. Passengers and crew were welcomed upon arrival at the respective airports.
The new connections will now be operated daily, allowing travelers to travel to Rome and further afield to Sicily just in time for the start of the Easter holidays. Rome and Palermo complement Condor's existing European city route network, which already includes Vienna, Zurich, and the domestic German destinations of Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich. The airline plans to add additional European cities to its flight schedule at the beginning of May. Milan, Paris, and Prague will also be served directly from Frankfurt, completing the offering.
In parallel with the expansion of its route network, Condor has introduced a new Economy Light fare for these city connections. Economy Class passengers receive a free bottle of water and a small sweet. Business Class travelers benefit from complimentary drinks and a premium snack. In addition, since April 2, 2025, Economy Light passengers can bring a small handbag and one piece of hand luggage into the cabin at no additional charge.
