Phoenix, AZ – Condor Airlines, which started nonstop summer service between Phoenix and Frankfurt last month, has already announced its return for 2019. Condor Airlines, part of the Thomas Cook Group, operates the route between Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and Frankfurt Airport twice a week late May through September. The flight provides a critical link for both business and leisure travelers to and from Germany and Arizona.
Next year, flights will be extended by nearly two full months to include all of May and October, also twice per week on Mondays and Fridays.
Travelers wishing to connect beyond Frankfurt are finding that the flight offers a convenient and time-effective way to get to Europe and elsewhere. Condor offers service to around 90 destinations from Frankfurt. Business and leisure travelers to Germany will also find that the Frankfurt Airport serves the most destinations of any airport in the world, offering service to about 300 destinations across five continents.
The twice-weekly flight will continue to be served by a Boeing 767-300ER with more than 250 seats. Each passenger onboard receives complimentary checked baggage, beverages, meals and in-flight entertainment at each seat. The 18 seats in Business Class feature lie-flat seats, a 15” personal in-seat premium entertainment system, power and USB ports, and gourmet meals with complimentary beer, wine and cocktails.
Frankfurt is the latest new route added at Phoenix Sky Harbor. The Airport has been focused on increasing international service, including adding new Montreal service earlier this year and increased service to London on British Airways.
Phoenix Sky Harbor is a convenient gateway to destinations in the U.S. and abroad with nonstop service offered to more than 100 domestic destinations and 22 international destinations. The flight will continue to benefit the local economy, as international flights to Phoenix already bring in over $3 billion each year.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
