«It has been a real pleasure to partner with Edmonton International Airport to bring Condor service to Alberta.

We are pleased to present an affordable and convenient alternative«, said Mikko Turtiainen, Condor’s Director of Sales Americas.
Alongside Condor’s new service between Frankfurt and Edmonton, Edmonton International Airport’s European offerings also include a non-stop service to Amsterdam, operated by KLM.
