I took this photo a year ago. A beautiful piece of equipment still, but also one of the problems - the Condor fleet is over aged. A buyer would
have to buy new aircraft. However, I´ll be flying on Condor in a few days, and hope it will be on this old bird.
you have a very naive, uninformed and incorrect view of aircraft and operator economics. The requirements and economics of a charter airline are sometimes inverse to a scheduled one. Many a charter company and major US airline operate 757’s profitably and reliably. Kindly keep your armchair airline management theories for your mates at the pub.
