Frankfurt-based Condor Airlines added its 13th Boeing 767-300ER to its fleet in June 2015.

The carrier previously reported it will launch 2X-weekly Frankfurt-Portland, Oregon 767-300ER services from June 19, 2015 and 2X-weekly services to Rhode Island, from June 18.

During the current winter schedule, Condor launched new nonstop Cologne-Varadero (Cuba) flights, and services from Frankfurt to Grenada Island and Windhoek (Namibia).

The German leisure carrier is part of the Thomas Cook Group and transports around 7 million passengers per year to more than 75 destinations.

Condor said in a statement that it will add four new Airbus A321s until June 2015. The carrier currently has two A321s in service.

The Thomas Cook Group will take delivery of a total of 25 A321 (including the four until June 2015 and two already delivered), which replaces about one-third of the Group’s current narrowbody fleet.

Thomas Cook Group operates 89 aircraft, of which 40 are flying for Condor (12 A320s, three A321s, 13 Boeing 757-300s and 12 767-300ERs).
