Condor released its summer schedule for North America, which includes 12 destinations throughout the U.S. and Canada.
The German leisure airline is known for operating to a wide variety of destinations and routes, including two unique markets in North America, however, one of them will not operate in this year’s schedule.
The first one, which will indeed operate for this season, is Anchorage in Alaska. Condor operates one of the state’s only nonstop flights to Europe with service three times a week on board the Airbus A330-900neo aircraft.
Anchorage and Frankfurt are nine time zones apart from each other, and with the westbound flight being roughly nine hours in scheduled length, there is a good chance it will land before taking off in each city’s local time.
The other unique flight the carrier operated in the past won’t be happening this season; Whitehorse in Canada’s Yukon Territory. Condor used to fly here with its Boeing 767-300 but they have since retired the aircraft type from its fleet as of March 2024.
The airline used to operate this route from Frankfurt, but currently, Whitehorse’s main runway is being repaved and is expected to be completed sometime in 2026.
The airport’s secondary runway is too short to accommodate the airline’s Airbus A330. However, according to an email from the Yukon government to CBC, “even once the runway is repaved, the airport may not be able to accommodate the Airbuses that Condor will be flying.”
Condor passengers wishing to go to Whitehorse can still go, but will now have to connect through Condor’s other western gateways in Canada, like Vancouver and Calgary.
In addition to Vancouver and Calgary in Canada’s west, Condor also flies daily to Toronto, which is a year-round destination. Along with Toronto, other year-round destinations for Condor in North America include New York-JFK, as well as Miami and Seattle.

Other than those four year-round destinations, this summer the carrier will also offer eight seasonal destinations; along with previously mentioned Vancouver and Calgary in Canada and Anchorage in the United States, These include Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Portland, Oregon.

All destinations listed will be served by the airline’s Airbus A330-900neo, which offers 310 passenger seats; 26 in business, 64 in premium economy, and 216 in economy. All of the seasonal destinations for Condor in North America will be restarting around the end of April into the beginning of May.
