Flight DE 2468 was operated on a Boeing 767 registered as D-ABUH, which departed from Frankfurt Airport (FRA) at 12:25 local time and arrived at Edmonton International Airport (YEG) at 13:48, after a journey of nine hours and 23 minutes.
«It has been a real pleasure to partner with Edmonton International Airport to bring Condor service to Alberta.

We are pleased to present an affordable and convenient alternative«, said Mikko Turtiainen, Condor’s Director of Sales Americas.
Alongside Condor’s new service between Frankfurt and Edmonton, Edmonton International Airport’s European offerings also include a non-stop service to Amsterdam, operated by KLM.
