On December 19, the first passenger flight of the German leisure airline took off from Frankfurt to Xian, the capital of Shaanxi province. In future, Condor will be flying to the 13 million metropolis every Saturday. It is the only airline that connects Xian and Frankfurt directly with each other. With the partner airline China Eastern, Condor also connects many other destinations within China, for example Beijing, Shanghai and Ghuangzhou.
