New Direct flight SJD - FRA

Los Cabos sets its sights high, as the premier tourist destination in Baja California Sur is pleased to announce its new air connection with Europe, through a direct flight from Frankfurt, Germany, in strategic alliance with the leading luxury airline for transcontinental flights: Condor Flugdienst. This new air connection with Germany will commence in November 2024, solidifying one of the most relevant emerging markets for Los Cabos.

With the launch of the new air route, Los Cabos reinforces its position as one of Mexico’s tourist destinations with the best international connectivity, now offering direct flights to the United States, Canada, and Spain. Additionally, last year the destination opened 7 new domestic routes connecting with 16 Mexican airports; 7 international routes to connect with 30 US airports; and 3 routes in Canada to include a total of 11 Canadian airports, along with 12 flights between Mexico City and Madrid.

 The Frankfurt-Los Cabos flight will have two regular weekly frequencies from November to April, with a capacity for 310 passengers per flight. It is estimated to move 16,000 visitors a year, which would mean a 490% increase in German tourists, who are expected to contribute an economic influx of 1 billion dollars annually to the destination, further establishing Germany as the third most important international market for Los Cabos, following the United States and Canada.

 Furthermore, this new air bridge with Europe will promote more inclusive tourism to the destination, as the Condor airline offers economy, premium, and business travel packages, opening the door for various profiles of European tourists to visit, especially in winter, this significant tourist gem in the northwest of Mexico, where a wide range of experiences opens up a universe of possibilities beyond sun and beach.

The collaboration between the public and private sectors has been crucial in achieving this feat and will be even more so in the future, to ensure the right investments that will lead Los Cabos on the path to success, as has been the case so far. The collaboration with Condor involves shared responsibilities in marketing and promoting the destination to amplify Los Cabos' visibility among German tourists.

Jens Boyd, Commercial Director at Condor is delighted: "Los Cabos is at the top of the bucket list for many Germans and has been on Condor's list for some time. The flights to the attractive Pacific coast are made possible by the arrival of our new A330neo, in which our guests can look forward to maximum travel comfort, the latest technologies, low kerosene consumption and a quiet flight. Whether in the new Economy cabin with ergonomic seats, a better sense of space and the latest generation of in-flight entertainment or in our unique Prime Seats in the front row of Business Class, where you feel like you're in your own suite."
