No. Condor flights in the late 70's were German-originating pax with most flights from Stuttgart (DF2848/9). Can't remember the name of the charterer. I do remember the first Bavaria flights from Munich which started 9/10/75 on Thu (BV4582/3) and Mon (BV1582/3) were chartered by City Express Flug, operated by 1-11 400's initially with the -500's taking over nearly all flights after the 1st few weeks. These operated year round until Oct 1979 as Bavaria, Bavaria Germanair then Hapag-Lloyd.
