Condor has launched inaugural flight to Kuala Lumpur on November 1st, 2018. The new route between Frankfurt (FRA) and Kuala Lumpur (KUL) will be operated three times a week with a Boeing 767-300.
Kuala Lumpur is the 90th destination that the German leisure carrier flies to from Frankfurt Airport. Through the interline agreement between Condor and Malaysia Airlines, Kuala Lumpur also offers a variety of connecting flights to destinations in Australia, New Zealand, Bali, and Singapore.
Christian Schmitt, Managing Director & Accountable Manager Condor: “With Kuala Lumpur, we are adding another dream destination to our expanding long-haul network, which will help us establish ourselves on the Southeast Asian market and attract holidaymakers and business travelers alike. Southeast Asia has grown enormously in popularity in recent years, so the demand is high and we will be the only airline offering direct flights between Germany and Malaysia.”
“We are delighted that our valued customer Condor is expanding its attractive range of routes and is now offering three weekly flights from Frankfurt to the Malaysian metropolis Kuala Lumpur. After more than two years, Germany’s gateway to the world will once again offer an important direct connection to one of Southeast Asia’s most fascinating cities. Frankfurt Airport and Condor have a long partnership and we are proud that Condor has been flying from Frankfurt since 1956. We wish Condor “Always Happy Landings” at Frankfurt Airport,” says Dr. Pierre Dominique Prümm, General Manager Aviation at Fraport AG.
Chief Strategy Officer of Malaysia Airports, Azli Mohamed said, “Condor Airlines is the 58th passenger airline to arrive in KLIA Main Terminal. I am also happy to share with you that KLIA has seen a tremendous growth with a 3.2% passenger growth as at September 2018 and is the 12th busiest airport in the world in terms of international passenger movements. Condor Airlines is German’s second largest commercial airline and I am sure that it has had many pioneer moments in their history. Malaysia has often been Germany’s primary trading partner among ASEAN countries. With this new 3 times a week direct flight service, we strongly believe that this will enable both countries to further strengthen both the tourism and economy sectors”.
The metropolis Kuala Lumpur offers travelers a multitude of sights and a varied cityscape. Historic buildings are only a stone’s throw away from modern skyscrapers. From the sky bridge of the Petronas Twin Towers, the highest twin towers in the world (452m), visitors have a fascinating view of the metropolis, which is widely regarded as a melting pot of different cultures. But Kuala Lumpur does not only have big city flair to offer: In the midst of the skyscrapers, visitors will find the “KL Forest Eco-Park”, a rainforest that breaks up the cityscape and invites them to relax. Kuala Lumpur is also a shopping Eldorado and offers a wide range of culinary delights.
Condor flies to the Malaysian capital on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in the 2018/19 winter flight schedule. Cheap flights from Frankfurt to Kuala Lumpur are available from 249.99 euros in Economy Class, 349.99 euros in Premium Class and 749.99 euros in Business Class (full price, one-way). They can be booked online at www.condor.com or through travel agencies. Kuala Lumpur is also represented in the Condor 2019 summer flight schedule and is served twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays.
