Condor lands in Panama with shiny new direct flights from Frankfurt 2025

Condor is making travel dreams a little sunnier this summer — and a lot more direct. On June 11, 2025, the airline kicked off its brand-new non-stop route from Frankfurt to Panama City, officially becoming the only airline connecting the two cities without a layover. No detours, no awkward airport naps — just you, a comfy seat, and tropical adventures on the horizon.

The new service runs twice a week, giving European travellers a breezy gateway to Latin America — and just in time for those planning to swap bratwurst for beach time or city strolls for rainforest hikes.

Condor CEO Peter Gerber couldn’t be happier about the launch, calling it a smart move for travellers looking to explore the region. Thanks to a handy partnership with Copa Airlines, passengers can easily connect onwards to 40+ destinations across Latin America and the Caribbean — and yes, your bags will follow along without you having to play suitcase detective mid-journey.

What’s flying you there?

Condor is rolling out its modern Airbus A330-900 for the route (first flight DE2236, for the aviation geeks among us), which means extra comfort and style in all classes. Whether you’re going full glam in Business, keeping it practical in Premium Economy, or stretching out in Economy, you’ll have an upgraded experience across the board — think better seats, sleeker cabin design, and newer in-flight entertainment to help those hours fly by.

Why Panama?

In case you’re wondering why you should be excited about this route — Panama is a bit of a travel jackpot. You’ve got the iconic Panama Canal, cosmopolitan Panama City with its glittering skyline and vibrant old quarter, stunning beaches on both the Pacific and Caribbean sides, and lush rainforests teeming with wildlife. And let’s not forget the country’s emerging foodie scene — ceviche and craft cocktails, anyone?

With Condor’s new direct connection and Copa’s onward links, you can also hop easily to hotspots like Costa Rica, Colombia, Peru, or even the Caribbean islands, all from your sunny new Frankfurt–Panama gateway.

So in short: fewer layovers, more mojitos.

A big win for travellers

Condor’s latest route is part of the airline’s bigger mission to open up more exciting long-haul options from Frankfurt — and with this launch, they’re giving travellers one more reason to pack their bags for somewhere warm, colourful, and just a little bit exotic.
