Emirates’ vast network now reaches a staggering 1,650 cities across the globe after the Dubai airline and Condor deepened their relationship by signing a reciprocal codeshare partnership.
The codeshare will be activated from October 2024, subject to government approvals and coinciding with Condor’s new Berlin-Dubai route launch that month.
With the new signing Emirates’. It currently has commercial cooperation agreements in place with 161 interline, codeshare and intermodal partners.
The agreement was signed recently at the IATA Annual General Meeting in Dubai by Adnan Kazim, Emirates Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, and Peter Gerber, CEO of Condor.
Emirates expands Condor partnership
In November last year, the two airlines entered a reciprocal interline agreement that boosted connectivity for customers to 70 routes operated by both airlines across Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Middle East, with a single ticket fare and hassle-free baggage policy.
The two carriers also signed a frequent flyer programme agreement enabling Emirates Skywards members to earn and redeem Miles on all Condor-operated flights.
The new agreement will offer seamless connections and expanded choices for Emirates customers connecting on Condor-operated flights via Germany to popular destinations in Majorca and the Canary Islands as well as international points in North, Central and South America and the Caribbean.
The expanded partnership will see Condor place their marketing code ‘DE’ on Emirates-operated flights beyond Dubai to some of the most travelled global tourism hotspots and offering new travel options for Condor customers to many unique destinations across the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Kazim commented: “We are pleased to further strengthen our partnership with Condor, one of the most popular leisure airlines in Germany, to offer their customers greater access and strong connection opportunities to unique destinations in our network, complemented by Emirates’ signature in-flight service and hospitality throughout their journey from Dubai.”

“Our guests will enjoy a way larger choice of flights to even more destinations with the familiar comfort and benefit from the best of both airlines on all flights.”
