Germany is a country that’s very much dominated by Lufthansa Group, with the only real national competitor being Condor, which doesn’t belong to one of the major airline groups.
Condor and Lufthansa have had a complicated relationship for a long time, and for the past couple of years, they’ve been engaged in a legal battle. This has now been settled, and it’s bad news for Condor and competition. Or I suppose to look at this more optimistically, maybe this is what it takes to push Condor to become a better competitor?
Over time that changed, and in the early 2000s, Lufthansa sold its Condor shares to Thomas Cook. When Thomas Cook went out of business, Condor ultimately became independent.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
