In summer 2025, Condor Flugdienst GmbH will significantly reduce its flights from Hamburg Airport, a step that could have a significant impact on the air traffic landscape in the Hanseatic city. With this decision, the holiday airline is reacting to "significantly increased location costs" and is adapting its Hamburg strategy not only in terms of flight routes, but also through increased cooperation with partner airlines. This realignment follows a trend that other airlines, such as Ryanair and Eurowings, are also pursuing in the region, and could have far-reaching consequences for travelers and the economic situation of Hamburg Airport. Ongoing uncertainty for travelers Condor will no longer offer flights to Málaga and Samos from summer 2025. The frequencies to Kos will also be severely restricted; only two weekly flights are planned in the future. A spokeswoman for the company said that the decision was due to the "significantly increased location costs" caused by an increase in Hamburg Airport's fees. This situation is not new. In recent years, many airlines have adapted their route plans to rising costs and economic challenges. The reduction in flights could not only limit travel options for Hamburg residents, but also affect the competitiveness of Hamburg Airport. This represents a step backwards, especially for travelers who rely on inexpensive connections to popular holiday destinations. This situation is also reflected in the reaction of other airlines: Ryanair and Eurowings have also reduced their services from Hamburg, which represents a worrying trend in air traffic. Cooperation with partner airlines An interesting twist in Condor's Hamburg strategy is the decision to operate parts of the flight program again via partner airlines.
