Condor to Shift Frankfurt Operations to New Terminal 3 in Summer 2027

The relocation marks a formal break with Lufthansa after years of unraveling ties.

Overview

  • Condor and airport operator Fraport announced the move, with Terminal 3 scheduled to open at the end of April 2026.
  • The agreement is presented as a strategic partnership intended to support growth and operational stability for the airline.
  • Fast transfers between Terminal 3 and Terminal 1 will initially not be possible, which will affect connection options to Lufthansa flights.
  • Condor has developed its own feeder network and a small Frankfurt hub after Lufthansa launched Discover and withdrew preferential transfer arrangements.
  • Reporting differs on Condor’s local scale, with Die Zeit citing roughly 60 aircraft while a company spokesperson told Frankfurter Rundschau that 40 are stationed in Frankfurt.
