Condor Airbus A330neo touches down in Boston

Condor’s new Airbus A330neo sporting Condor’s eye-catching, striped branding arrived in Boston on May 7. 

Condor will offer up to six daily flights a week (except Sunday) during the summer to its Frankfurt hub, with easy connections to 100+ destinations throughout Europe and beyond. 

The A330neo will replace the previous generation of Boeing 767-300 aircraft and will significantly reduce Condor’s operating costs and offer increased passenger and cargo capacity into the Boston market.

The A330neo is the new version of the popular A330 widebody. Incorporating the latest generation Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines, new wings and aerodynamic innovations, the aircraft reduces Condor’s fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 20 percent. The A330neo consumes just a half a gallon of fuel, per passenger, per 62 miles flown – — well below the industry average. It is the first aircraft in the world already certified for the regulatory reduction in CO2 emissions, which will be required by 2028, and that subsequently will reduce travelers’ environmental footprint. The A330neo supports state-of-the-art flight and navigation systems tailored to Condor’s exacting requirements, resulting in more noise- and CO2 -efficient approach and departure procedures, even at particularly high-altitude airports, reducing noise pollution by up to 60 percent.
