Condor is a renowned German leisure carrier that operates scheduled services to holiday destinations worldwide. This includes routes from the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Egypt, Morocco, the Americas (North America from Alaska to the East Coast, Central America and the Caribbean), Africa (Eastern and Southern Africa) and the Indian Ocean.

The carrier’s winter routes connect Frankfurt (FRA) non-stop with Male (MLE) with regular scheduled flights. The airline has been on a growth trajectory for the past few years, with 16 brand new Airbus A330-900neo aircraft scheduled to be included to the fleet of Condor in the fall of 2022.

Condor is represented in Sri Lanka and the Maldives by Hayleys Aviation, a subsidiary of the blue-chip multinational conglomerate Hayleys PLC.

“With the announcement of Condor´s increasing flight plan to numerous destinations in the Indian Ocean and other countries, the partnership with Hayleys was the next logical step for us. The new cooperation between our two brands will allow us to garner new segments and explore greater commercial opportunities for our business in Asia,” stated Condor Head of Sales for Overseas Markets Carsten Sasse.

Hayleys Aviation Director/CEO Gerard Victoria commenting on the partnership with Condor stated, “We are deeply honoured that Condor has selected Hayleys Aviation as their General Sales Agent in Sri Lanka and The Maldives.
