Accidents/incidents[edit]

In July of 2006, a Condor 767 flying from Frankfurt DE to Orlando, FL USA had to make an emergency landing in Tampa, FL. This was caused by a number of reasons. The day that this flight was landing, Orlando had seen a series of very bad weather, halting flights. This caused other flights to be backed-up creating congestion. The Condor flight was forced to circle in the air until the other flights have landed. After flying all the way from Germany, it had low fuel and could not circle any longer. The pilot made the decision to land in the nearby Tampa airport. No one on this flight was injured and an hour later, they proceeded on to Orlando. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.119.250.168 (talk) 00:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Condor Flugdienst → Condor (airline) – Though "Condor Flugdienst GmbH" is the airline's official name (see e.g. [1]), the full name is obscure and rarely used in practice. The WP:COMMONNAME by far is "Condor", and "Condor (airline)" would be more recognizable to readers than the current title. feminist (talk) 14:31, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per WP:COMMONNAME. 178.164.162.144 (talk) 15:55, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Nobody calls this airline "Condor Flugdienst", not even in Germany. Gobe1904 (talk) 16:31, 12 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as per Gobe1904.
  • Support – The common name is Condor, so that should be used – adding any disambiguation as needed. --Deeday-UK (talk) 10:42, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - Using the airline's actual name which is Condor Flugdienst is to be preferred over an unnecessary disambiguation using brackets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.217.125.201 (talk) 20:58, 16 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Your preference goes squarely against the guidelines. Have you read WP:COMMONNAME? --Deeday-UK (talk) 09:44, 17 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Ownership[edit]

Hi - Condor has not yet been acquired by LOT Polish Airlines. There are major hurdles yet to be surmounted: this is not a done deal and unlikely to be completed before April 2020. At least one editor has been edit-warring and trying to present this as a done deal. The company remains owned by Thomas Cook Group until the deal is approved by anti-trust authorities worldwide. Dormskirk (talk) 12:04, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There may be a lack of understanding of UK insolvency law here. In a liquidation the assets remain the assets of the company, under the control of the liquidator, until such a time as they have been sold or the liquidation is complete. Liquidations may typically take several years. Dormskirk (talk) 18:43, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
An update on this: the German anti-trust authorities have given their approval: (See German approval). My understanding is that other approvals are still awaited. If other editors have any news on other approvals please feel to update the article or talk page with appropriately sourced information. Dormskirk (talk) 22:20, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
A further update on this: the sale to LOT Polish airlines has fallen through: (See Polish sale fails). Dormskirk (talk) 19:12, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This edit warring editor seems to have moved to the article on Polish Aviation Group and is again trying to present the acquisition of Condor by Polish Aviation Group / LOT Polish Airlines as a done deal. My understand remains unchanged i.e. that the deal has fallen through. There is further coverage here: Poland’s LOT Withdraws From Deal to Buy German Airline Condor.
