D-AICA A320-212 Condor  [+] 2011-18
D-AICH A320-212 Condor  [+] 2019-

Condor unveiled its first retrojet D-AICA in December 2011 as part of its 55th anniversary celebrations; this A320 was painted in a nostalgic design of the 1960s and named after Hans Geisler, the founder of Geisler Tours which in 1956 chartered for the first time a Deutsche Flugdienst (DFG) plane. In 1961 DFG became Condor Flugdienst.

D-AICA lost the scheme in late 2018 and D-AICH was repainted in the exact same livery (apart from the registration mark) in early 2019.
