Is this a former Condor aircraft? I know in the mid 90’s Lufthansa “leased” a 767-300 from Condor (funny how you could lease an aircraft from your own subsidiary) to fly to Sydney, altough this was short lived. Anybody know what the deal is with this one? Nice, simple colour scheme. Better than the former “quilt” Star Scheme.

I thought something was fishy because: 1) Condor’s “regular” 767’s are -330’s and this was was a -3Z9 or something of that nature; and 2) the model in question has Pratt’s whereas the -330’s are GE powered. So they are Lauda 767’s, that’s what I wanted to know, thank you gentlemen. I realize that I’m the only one in here that likes the new Star scheme, Saab. It is rather simple, I’ll agree there. I just like the billboard titles with the name of the airline underneath. I didn’t like the previous patchwork scheme where they had a patch of the 15 airlines across the fuselage. I thought that was horrible. I see this as an improvement. My favorite Star scheme, was the original one when it was only 6 airlines. Each part of the fuselage was painted in the livery of the 6 carriers, with the front part being the airline that owned the aircraft. I believe UA has a 763 still painted in that old Star scheme. Lastly, Condor used to have seasonal service to Vegas once a week. Do they still do that?

They’ve leased two Lauda 767s to Condor for 2 years and have been put in Star Alliance colours. They will be used on US routes with lower load factors.

I think the aircraft in the picture is on a lease from Lauda Airways, and the reg has been changed.

I don’t think it’s a former Condor aircraft… it still is! (well, Thomas Cook, anyway)
had a look at the LH timetable, and the flight to Atlanta, LH444/445, is down as being operated by DE (Thomas Cook powered by Condor).
I’m interested to see that LH award Miles & More miles on all DE flights.
Anyway, GD, you must be about the only person on the board that likes the new Star Livery…
