Condor sister Marabu cancels flights to Ibiza

Flights have been cancelled

Popular holiday island disappears from Nuremberg flight schedule

The Condor sister Marabu will grow strongly in Nuremberg. The airline had to cancel one destination again. The reasons for this plague large parts of the industry.

The popular holiday island of Ibiza has disappeared from Nuremberg Airport’s flight schedule. The airline Marabu – a sister of the German holiday airline Condor – had actually announced that it wanted to fly to the Balearic island twice a week from Nuremberg. But nothing is revealed from this.

A spokeswoman for the airline told “infranken.de” that Marabu had set “ambitious growth goals” for the summer of 2024. In order to fulfill this, the fleet of own aircraft should be increased from four to eight A320neo machines – and aircraft and crew should be rented from other airlines.

In the latter case, demand is so high that fewer aircraft are available than originally planned – which now has an impact on the flight schedule, the spokeswoman continued to “infranken.de”.

The spokeswoman also complained about the rising costs of airport infrastructure and air traffic control fees in Germany. The cost level was already among the highest in Europe. “Under these circumstances and in line with the decisions of other airlines such as Ryanair, Eurowings and Condor, Marabu also had to adjust its flight schedule for the coming summer,” said the spokeswoman “infranken.de”.

The only remaining Balearic island in the summer flight schedule is Mallorca after the Ibiza flights have been discontinued. Marabu, Eurowings and Ryanair fly to the island, sometimes several times a day.

There are also connections to various cities (Alicante, Barcelona, ​​​​Girona, Malaga, Seville and Valencia) on the Spanish mainland and the Canary Islands of Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Tenerife from Nuremberg.
