From 2001 to 2024, German airline Condor operated direct flights from Frankfurt, Germany, to Whitehorse in Canada's Yukon Territory. These flights have been suspended due to runway reconstruction at Whitehorse Airport and the retirement of Condor's Boeing 767-300 aircraft. Travelers now need to transfer in Vancouver or Calgary.
The airport in Whitehorse is currently undergoing extensive work on its primary runway, leaving it without international flights. There is potential for Condor to resume service in 2026 with Airbus A330neos, but doubts remain about the airport's ability to accommodate these larger planes.
Germans are known for their love of nature and hiking, making Yukon's vast wilderness an attractive destination. The territory spans over 186,000 square miles and has a population of around 40,000 people. The largest settlement is Whitehorse with approximately 28,000 residents.
