Condor continues to push on Italy and does so by adding Venice to its network.
In this article:
The German airline has inaugurated connections from Marco Polo airport to Frankfurt, gateway to its intercontinental network.
The point is not so much the Venice-Frankfurt flight itself, but what happens once we arrive in Germany. Condor, in fact, has built its long-haul hub in Frankfurt and operates from there to many tourist destinations and beyond, with a revamped fleet and an on-board product that has made a major leap in quality in recent years.
From Venice to Frankfurt, and then to the world
With the opening of flights from Venice, Condor strengthens an Italian presence that already includes Milan Malpensa, which is served year-round, and Rome Fiumicino, which is connected with summer scheduling. The goal is simple: to bring Italian travelers to Frankfurt and from there board them on the company's intercontinental flights.
