At Condor, those responsible are particularly proud of the conscientious implementation of the regulations. The latter is responsible for the maintenance of the planes. The comfortable Convair CV440s are state-of-the-art and are also used by Lufthansa and SAS.
The base of Condor Airlines is Hamburg Airport. A maintenance contract is concluded with the Scandinavian airline SAS, which also uses the CV440 Metropolitan. Only Lufthansa uses this type in Germany. Condor Airlines is fully up to date with its Convairs. Rudolf August Oetker was inspired by these pioneers.įrom its base in Hamburg, the airline operates as a charte company. But why is the big Andean bird namesake of the airline? In the 1920s, German companies (including the old Lufthansa) set up the airline Condor Syndikat in Brazil to operate passenger, mail and cargo flights. The planes are built by Convair in San Diego and have to be ferried to Germany at great expense.įrom autumn 1957, two of these aircraft belonged to the newly founded airline Condor Luftreederei. Here you can see D-ABAB over Point Loma, California.

Only a few providers operate in the market, above all big names, such as Deutsche Lufthansa AG with its tourism subsidiary Deutsche Flugdienst GmbH or LTU. In the 1950s, the market for air travel and air freight in Germany is still small. It forms the nucleus of the later Condor group. Its name: Condor Transport- und Rückversicherungs AG. At the same time, a new group of companies will be set up to offer financial services and insurance products. As a result, the Oetker Group held all shares in the Hamburg Süd shipping company from 1955 onwards. Among other things, investments are made in the luxury hotel industry, banking, and shipping. To reduce the risk of dependence on only one industry, business areas outside the actual core ventures are considered. These must be reinvested sensibly diversification is the keyword here. The food division of the Oetker Group generates large sales and very pleasing profits during the German economic miracle. "Do not put all your eggs in one basket" - Rudolf August Oetker always follows this motto when it comes to expanding his business.
