Condor airlines, a carrier from Germany, has teamed up with Etihad to offer a codeshare and new flights straight into the UAE capital.

Launching new daily services to both Frankfurt and Berlin, things will be taking off from summer 2026.

Flights to Frankfurt will begin on May 1 2026 using the Airbus A330, followed by the launch of services to Berlin on June 15 on the Airbus A320.

Etihad and Condor will also offer a codeshare operation, meaning Etihad guest members can also earn and redeem miles on Condor-operated flights.

Speaking about the new partnership, Arik De, Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer of Etihad Airways, said:

“We are delighted to announce this strategic partnership with Condor and welcome their new services to Abu Dhabi.

“Germany is a vital market for Etihad, and adding Berlin alongside new Frankfurt options meets clear passenger demand – including a direct capital-to-capital link that further strengthens UAE-Germany ties.”

And that’s not the only new destinations coming in 2026. Etihad has been announcing new destinations left right and centre for us all to look forward to next year.
