Ger­man air­line Con­dor will re­sume flights to To­ba­go lat­er this year.

In a re­lease on Thurs­day, the To­ba­go Tourism Agency Ltd con­firmed that the air­line will again con­duct di­rect flights be­tween Ger­many and To­ba­go start­ing in No­vem­ber.

The air­line re­sumed ser­vice to To­ba­go last No­vem­ber but stopped its air­lift ser­vice to the is­land on Sun­day.

The re­lease stat­ed, “Fol­low­ing up on ne­go­ti­a­tions with long­stand­ing air­line part­ner Con­dor over the past few months, the To­ba­go Tourism Agency Ltd is ex­cit­ed to an­nounce the re­sump­tion of di­rect air­lift be­tween Ger­many and To­ba­go for Win­ter 2023/2024.”

TTAL con­tin­ued, “Con­dor will be op­er­at­ing a week­ly flight on Tues­days be­tween the Frank­furt Air­port in Ger­many and the ANR Robin­son In­ter­na­tion­al Air­port in To­ba­go, com­menc­ing on No­vem­ber 7, 2023 and end­ing on April 9, 2024. All flights will be on the brand new A330-900neo, and will be avail­able for book­ing from May 1, 2023.”

TTAL Ex­ec­u­tive chair, Ali­cia Ed­wards said: “We are ab­solute­ly de­light­ed to wel­come Con­dor Air­lines back to To­ba­go as we seek to make it even eas­i­er for our Ger­man vis­i­tors to ac­cess and ex­pe­ri­ence every­thing our un­spoilt is­land has to of­fer. The re­turn of this flight ac­knowl­edges the rel­e­vance of the des­ti­na­tion for the Ger­man-speak­ing mar­ket and paves the way for us to ini­ti­ate ac­cel­er­at­ed mar­ket­ing plans.”

To­ba­go’s over­seas des­ti­na­tion rep­re­sen­ta­tive in Ger­many, An­ge­li­ka Weg­n­er said, “The week­ly flight ser­vice from Frank­furt will not on­ly cater for the con­tin­ued de­mand among Ger­man-speak­ing cus­tomers in To­ba­go, but will al­so sup­port the vast mar­ket­ing ac­tiv­i­ties of the To­ba­go Tourism Agency in its strat­e­gy to ex­pand share in and in­crease ar­rival num­bers from its sec­ond main source mar­ket.”

The an­nounce­ment has come just over a month since the TTAL team at­tend­ed ITB Berlin at the be­gin­ning of March.

Dur­ing that vis­it, TTAL of­fi­cials met with Con­dor Air­lines to ad­vo­cate for ad­di­tion­al di­rect air­lift be­tween Ger­many and To­ba­go, ex­plore air­lift pos­si­bil­i­ties for the Scan­di­na­vian re­gion, and work on an agree­ment for Win­ter 2023/2024.

How­ev­er, in that meet­ing, TTAL con­firmed they were not able to ne­go­ti­ate an agree­ment for the air­line to op­er­ate dur­ing the Sum­mer pe­ri­od.
