Hans
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.

D-ABOJ B757-330 Condor  [+] 2010-12

Characters from the Peanuts Gang from the famous American comic strip adorned the titles of almost all Condor planes in 2010-2012. Only an aircraft in each subfleet had a full set of 8 characters added though; the move was a partnership between Condor, the Wings of Help charity and the licensing agency of the Snoopy characters & friends, which were celebrating their 60th anniversary in 2010.

Willi
D-ABON B757-330 Condor  [+] 2006-

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Condor launched a new marketing campaign and painted this 757 with a fly and large hearts all over the fuselage and surfaces. This aircraft is a "flying declaration of love". It is named Willi after late Condor sales executive Wilfried "Willi" Meyer, who for 30 years had been the defining influence for the image of the airline. Winglets were fitted on the aircraft in early 2010. Note small yellow balloons with "50 years" titles were added fleetwide in the meantime.

Rizzi Bird

Rizzi Bird  
D-ABNF B757-230 Condor 1996-02

The "Rizzi Bird" was unveiled at Frankfurt on March 29, 1996. Anticipating its 40th anniversary celebrations the German holiday airline asked several contemporary artists to design a special livery for one of its 757; in the end this original artwork by American pop artist James Rizzi was chosen by Condor. A full three weeks were required to paint the special scheme, which also covered special artwork on part of the wings & stabilizer. Rumor has it the plane was consistently delayed because passengers where taking their time to photograph it while boarding.
