Condor is adding a new U.S. destination to its long-haul network beginning next year.

Starting May 14, 2027, the German carrier will operate daily nonstop flights between Frankfurt and Chicago O’Hare. The seasonal service is scheduled to run through Sept. 12.

Condor plans to operate the route with an Airbus A330-900neo.

“Chicago is an ideal addition to our North American network and a market with significant potential,” Condor CEO Peter Gerber said in a news release.

The launch will coincide with Condor’s planned move to Frankfurt Airport’s Terminal 3 during the Summer 2027 schedule. The new terminal began handling flights in April 2026 and has capacity for up to 19 million passengers annually. Condor is the second-largest airline in Frankfurt after Lufthansa.

Tickets for the new service are now on sale.
