Tarifrunde: Condor-Piloten akzeptieren Verzicht auf Gehaltserhöhung bis 2028

Frankfurt - Condor flight attendants have agreed to forgo salary increases for two years as part of a deal with the airline, according to the Vereinigung Cockpit (VC) pilot's union. The agreement includes temporary financial concessions for around 1,000 cockpit employees and excludes operationally related dismissals. Starting from October 2028, there will be a seven percent salary hike.

The VC says the zero-rate wage rounds for 2026 and 2027 will last until September 30, 2029. Condor confirmed the agreement to the so-called "Future Package." The airline stated that the measures aim to strengthen Condor's competitiveness in challenging economic conditions and maintain its growth trajectory. However, the agreement was approved by only 67 percent of the VC members, a relatively low percentage.

VC President Andreas Pinheiro acknowledged that the compromise might not be well-received by all members but emphasized the importance of securing jobs and improving working conditions. Condor had previously requested savings of up to 100 million euros per year, with 35 million euros coming from personnel costs, due to rising jet fuel prices and increased competition from airlines like Lufthansa's Discover.
