German leisure carrier Condor has reverted to a previous corporate logo for its fleet, distancing the airline from its collapsed former parent Thomas Cook Group.
German leisure carrier Condor has reverted to a previous corporate logo for its fleet, distancing the airline from its collapsed former parent Thomas Cook Group.
Condor has unveiled the scheme on a Boeing 767-300ER (D-ABUF) and says all the aircraft in its fleet – including the Boeing 757s and Airbus A320 family – will carry the new livery.
The airline already had an arm’s-length branding relationship with Thomas Cook Group, after an unpopular attempt to rebrand the carrier was abandoned in favour of the strong Condor name.

Condor’s new scheme restores the arrowhead-style bird logo on the fin and the 767’s winglets, in place of the Thomas Cook ‘heart’ design. The aircraft operated its first service in the revised livery to Cancun on 30 November.
Chief executive Ralf Teckentrup says the change had to be made for trademark reasons, although the rest of the fuselage and tail design remains the same.
Condor has unveiled a new summer 2020 schedule as part of its separation and establishment as a standalone airline.
The long-haul schedule includes twice-weekly services from Frankfurt to the Canadian city of Edmonton from June.
Condor, which will operate to over 30 long-haul destinations from Frankfurt, will also serve several cities from Munich including Cancun, Halifax, Punta Cana and Seattle.
