In Quotes
Peter Gerber, CEO of Condor said:
“Expanding our cooperation with Deutsche Bahn was a logical and important step for us to offer our guests even more options for traveling to and from long-haul flights from Frankfurt,”
“With our city flights we can already connect a few hubs in Germany and Europe with Frankfurt, but due to the limited availability of slots, traveling with Condor to our intercontinental flights is only possible to a limited extent. We are therefore delighted to be able to expand our offering together with Deutsche Bahn.”
Stefanie Berk, Head of Marketing & Sales at DB Fernverkehr:
“Traveling to the airport with climate-friendly transportation is an important contribution to sustainable mobility. On DB long-distance services, everyone travels with 100 percent green electricity. And we know from past experience that wherever aviation and rail cooperate, we record double-digit growth rates on the railways. We network our services in such a way that we can make optimum use of the respective strengths of our modes of transport. For our customers, this means easy booking and convenient travel chains.”
Beyond flag carriers
It’s interesting to see Condor building out its relationship with DB to provide further connectivity, this time using the lack of slots at Frankfurt to expand this partnership. It’s also good to see DB working with other partners – not just Lufthansa and other large carriers.
As we all know, airports are hardly the end of a journey, with onward travel options being a requirement – be it in a metro train, an intercity train, a bike, a taxi or a coach.
Making those connections easier and encouraging options that have less impact, whilst protecting connections when travelling is a key step forward as travellers consider intermodal options as part of the ability to make a journey.
