What is the new collaboration about?
Etihad Airways and Condor will partner from Summer 2026 to expand Germany-Abu Dhabi flights with new daily services and codeshare, increasing travel options across multiple regions, including Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Australia.
When do the new flights start?
From May 1, 2026, Condor will operate daily Airbus A330 services between Frankfurt and Abu Dhabi. This will be followed on June 15, 2026, by daily Airbus A320 flights linking Berlin to Abu Dhabi, creating a direct capital-to-capital connection.
How will travellers benefit?
The partnership boosts UAE-Germany ties, meets passenger demand, and enables seamless onward travel via Etihad’s hub. It’s Condor’s first Asia codeshare, highlighting its growing global presence and increasing European connectivity from Frankfurt. The new flights will complement those already being operated by Etihad between the UAE and Germany.
What does this mean for Abu Dhabi?
The collaboration enhances Etihad’s German services, supporting Abu Dhabi’s tourism and economic growth. Both airlines offer access to over 80 destinations. Etihad Guest members can earn and redeem miles on Condor flights, with more loyalty benefits to come.
