LAS VEGAS -- Condor, a subsidiary of Lufthansa Airlines, launched
nonstop air service from Germany to Las Vegas.
The service is operated once weekly on Mondays between
Cologne/Bonn and Las Vegas, and a second flight, to be operated on
Wednesdays between Frankfurt and Las Vegas, will be offered
beginning May 7.
The flights are operated aboard Boeing 767-300 equipment, with
exclusive European catering, beverages and inflight
entertainment.
Condor has provided regular charter service to Las Vegas since
1994, and the newly launched service will replace the charter
flights.
Condor is the first international carrier to offer scheduled
flights linking Europe and McCarran Airport.
The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, in conjunction
with the Clark County Department of Aviation, played a key role in
implementing the new scheduled service.
According to the LVCVA, Germans make up one of the
fastest-growing segments of overseas visitors to Las Vegas.
Since Condor implemented charter service from Germany to Las
Vegas in 1994, it has carried more than 41,000 passengers on the
route.
