New carrier Marabu Airlines could soon take delivery of its first aircraft, an Airbus A320neo.
Last December it became known that the investment firm Attestor, which owns 51% of Condor Airlines shares, would launch its own leisure airline. The new carrier, based in Estonia, would offer services between Germany and holiday destinations in Southern Europe and North Africa.
In the last month of last year it also emerged that Nordic Aviation Group would provide ACMI (leasing of aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) services to the new carrier, using three Airbus A320neo aircraft.

A photograph of the first aircraft to sport the company’s livery was released at the end of March, although delivery has not yet been finalised. The aircraft, with manufacturer’s serial number (MSN) 6799, will be registered as ES-MBU.
Marabu Airlines’ scheduled operations are expected to commence in April. The first airline tickets are already on sale at Condor Airlines’ official channels.
Marabu Airlines destinations
Initially, the new airline will operate from Hamburg (HAM) and Munich (MUC) airports to popular holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, the North Atlantic and the Red Sea.
