Where is a handbag and a handkerchief when you need one?:twisted: :evil:

IMHO it would have been better to have a white body, yellow tail, blue Condor logo and titles and use these stripes as a colour flash beside the boarding doors with a strap line “colour your life with Condor” or something like that.

Sixty - six years of history, heritage and tradition junked for a dogs breakfast which probably costs a king’s ransom and will bring little or no value to the brand. :shock:

My first reaction was this is an April fool. Sadly it’s April 5th, not 1st.

Bring back Condor!

Well time for some German names for these colours: green (grun- Gurkin) gherkin; yellow (gelb - senf) mustard; red (rot curry wurst) Currywurst favourite fast food of Berlin; beige (brun - kartoffel potato) blue (Blau Mittelmeer) Mediterranean Sea.

It make me think of Bob Ayling (ailing Bob) whose sixty million pound rebrand of World Tails was a famous flop.

Germans are traditionalists: who remembers the U turn forced on Thomas Cook by the German public of “Thomas Cook powered by Condor”back to Condor with the logo back on the tail replacing the Thomas Cook globe.

I hope that Herr Raif Teckentrup doesn’t have his coat on a shaky peg over this and that the revamp costs nothing like the overpaid, overhyped totally meaningless World Tails.

This is positively awful !

I know Euro-white is boring, but at least it doesn't make you want to throw up !

I saw the blue one on a 753 in Palma. It looked like a St Johnstone scarf! Mrs C said a sock!
