Thomas Cook announces new airline group plan

Ton Jochems - Ankara

Condor and sister carriers Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium and Thomas Cook Airlines UK will be managed as a group of airlines by the same management team from March 1 onwards. All of the carriers are controlled by tour operator Thomas Cook and will be managed by Group Head of Air Travel Christoph Debus and Condor CEO Ralf Teckentrup.
While Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia will continue to operate as a separate airline with its own management team, Condor Berlin will be merged into Condor later this spring as soon as Thomas Cook has been able to reach agreement with labor unions on the proposed merger.

Condor currently operates 13 B757-300s and 12 B767-300ERs, Condor Berlin has a fleet of 12 A320-200s and one A321-200, Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium operates one A319-100 and four A320-200s while Thomas Cook Airlines UK has five A320-200s, four A321-200s, 15 B757-200s, 2 B757-300s, five B767-300ERs and three A330-200s.
