From a German article www.aero.de/news-33890/Das-hat-LOT-mit-Condor-vor.htmlBecause Condor has also used Air Transat aircraft in the past, Milczarski is considering buying 20 new long-haul jets for Condor. LOT currently has 15 modern 787 Dreamliner Boeing jets in service on the long-haul route, but also wants to talk to Airbus about long-haul equipment.wants to talk, so we will see Apart from 20 new long-haul jets to replace 16 767-300(ER) in Condor fleet, LOT wants to order 10 widebodies for own operations: www.pasazer.com/news/43167/lot,zamowi,30,nowych,samolotow,szerokokadlubowych,w,tym,20,dla,condora.html google translation: "LOT will order 30 new wide-body aircraft. Including 20 for Condor
In the coming months, LOT will place an order for 30 new wide-body aircraft. A large part of them will go to the acquired Condor line.
LOT wants to grow with its new daughter company - said at today's press conference, Rafał Milczarski , LOT and PGL CEO. To this end, as announced during the press meeting, LOT will order a total of 30 new wide-body aircraft, 10 of which will go to LOT and the remaining 20 to Condor.
It is not known exactly what plans PGL and LOT have towards Condor, but according to general information, the German airline is to become a competence center for tourist flights within the Polish Aviation Group. The German brand is to be preserved and the new owner will want to develop and scale it to other countries in the region of Central and Eastern Europe. That is why Milczarski announced that layoffs are not planned, on the contrary the company will recruit new employees.
LOT is interested in building synergies between carriers. Currently, Condora's narrow-body fleet consists of 20-year A320 airbus, 6-year A321 airbus, 20-year Boeing 757 and even 24-year-old Boeing 767. PGL will seek to replace and unify the fleet not only within Condor, but also throughout group. Therefore, at the conference, Milczarski mentioned, among others on joint training of pilots who could work in both lines. Condor is also to enter new foreign markets, in addition to its home market in Germany. First, the line will enter the Polish market, then the Hungarian and then successively to the next.
The value of the transaction was not officially given, although Milczarski emphasized that it was "fair". In turn, the director general of Condor, Ralf Teckentrup , said earlier that with this money it would be easy to pay back a loan from a German bank. This means that PGL allocated over 380 million euros (1.617 billion zlotys) to Condor.
Condor's financial director Christoph Debus said that initially the number of companies interested in the acquisition was double-digit. Six of them later submitted non-binding offers, and eventually three entities submitted binding ones. He emphasized that all the proposals were so high that a loan of EUR 380 million could be repaid, but the offer of the Polish group was definitely the highest.
Milczarski also emphasized that LOT has good relations with Lufthansa, while Teckentrup added that Condor's cooperation with the German national carrier is going well and expects that these relations will not change in the future."
