It's getting much easier for travelers to reach European gateways from Arizona.
Condor Airlines, a division of Thomas Cook Group Airlines, will offer new flights from the destination to Frankfurt, opening up a new gateway for Phoenix with affordable flights to Europe as well as giving travelers in Germany a new destination to explore.
"In addition to our flights to San Diego, Pittsburgh, New Orleans and San Francisco this year, we are delighted to announce our new service to Phoenix to further complement our North America program by increasing our U.S. destinations to a total of 18 cities," said Christoph Debus, CEO Thomas Cook Group Airlines.
"We are pleased to bring Condor's award-winning, three-class service at attractive prices to Phoenix and the whole region of Arizona and giving the local people a unique choice for their travels to Germany and beyond," added Debus. "With our numerous partner airlines, we offer flights beyond Frankfurt to over 120 destinations across Europe."
Phoenix is ready to welcome the new service from Condor.
"This is exciting news for Phoenix, and our community is ready to roll up its sleeves to make Condor's new Phoenix-Frankfurt route a success," said the city's mayor, Greg Stanton.
"It's meaningful for Phoenix to have a nonstop route to mainland Europe, which is a sign of the strength of our market and economy, and will help boost the tourism industry for both Arizona and our German friends," Stanton added.
