Condor reduces US routes due to court ruling

"This is not a decision we take lightly," stated Jens Boyd, Condor's commercial director. "We deeply regret the loss of connectivity and service this will cause."

The removal of Condor's service is notably impactful for San Antonio, which had recently launched its first nonstop flights to Europe through the airline. With this change, San Antonio passengers will lose their only nonstop transatlantic option unless another carrier steps in.

San Antonio International Airport's director Jesus Saenz Jr. expressed intentions to expand nonstop services from SAT despite this setback: "Our community has long asked for service to Europe, and last summer's numbers proved that we do have a market that can sustain nonstop service."

Condor's recent growth in North America saw an increase in seats between the U.S. and Germany by 50% in 2024 compared to 2023, following a 30% growth rate the previous year, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium.

Despite these cuts, travelers will still have options to fly with Condor from nine U.S. cities come summer 2025.
