After a failed expansion in the 2022 summer flight schedule, Corendon was on the back burner during the warm season of this year. Things will continue to be more relaxed in the summer of 2024. However, a non-stop connection is now being launched between Cologne/Bonn and Tel Aviv.

In the Germany-Austria-Switzerland region, the Corendon Group will offer its services from a total of 2024 airports with the 29 summer flight schedule. Around three million seats will be offered to Turkey, Spain, Greece, Morocco and Egypt. New in the program: Two weekly routes to be served between Cologne/Bonn and Tel Aviv.

“As we expect stable demand, we will continue to present our customers with connections to the usual extent next summer in terms of travel destinations and seat capacity offered,” says Mine Aslan, commercial director of Corendon Airlines. “Due to the challenging global economic developments, we have decided to keep the flight schedule stable and ensure safe operations,” Aslan continued.

Corendon is currently assuming that demand in the area of ​​ethnic transport will increase. As a result, the offer to Turkey will be expanded. That's why Corendon Airlines has extended the running times for these flight connections: They start earlier in the year and run longer.

In the coming year, Corendon Airlines wants to primarily employ its own fleet. There are definitely considerations for wet leasing, but probably only on a small scale, explains Mine Aslan. Corendon Airlines expects significantly more growth in the future. The airline is planning to renew the Corendon Dutch Airlines fleet and is putting a Boeing 737-9 into operation. The international holiday airline will also use an Airbus A350 for the long-haul connection between Amsterdam and Curaçao.

“The summer of 2023 went extremely well for Corendon Airlines in German-speaking countries. We are therefore pleased that we will be able to offer our customers such an extensive range of flights from Germany, Austria and Switzerland again next summer,” emphasizes Thomas Braun, the regional representative of Corendon Airlines in Germany.

Numerous holiday destinations from German-speaking airports

From Germany, passengers have a total of 20 airports to choose from in summer. Passengers will find a particularly wide range of options from Cologne-Bonn, Düsseldorf, Hanover and Nuremberg airports. The airline's summer flight schedule includes up to around 300 weekly departures from German airports.

There will also be 25 departures per week from Vienna, Graz, Salzburg and Linz in Austria. Corendon Airlines is flying to the popular holiday destinations of Antalya on the Turkish Riviera and Izmir in the Aegean. This makes the holiday airline the only airline that flies to Antalya from four different airports in Austria. Another destination is the Egyptian bathing and diving destination Hurghada on the Red Sea. Swiss passengers can fly from Basel to Heraklion and from Basel and Zurich to Antalya.
