Exclusive Frankfurt Airside & Hangar Visit | Condor’s A330neo arrives home!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 сен 2023
- In this video we pick up where we left off in Toulouse, now the following morning at Frankfurt Airport awaiting the arrival home of Condor's newest A330neo, D-ANRB in the beautiful blue stripes. We get tons of apron action and close-up planespotting at Frankfurt, we catch the arrival of the A330neo, and then meet it at its remote stand where it drops off the ferry flight crew. We chat with First Officer Jana who landed the plane today, find out a fun fact about the special pins Condor pilots are issued, discover more evidence that Condor is the best airline for matching colors, then go into the hangar to watch it get towed in tail first and begin its bridging service, getting it all set and ready (and signed off by authorities) ahead of its first passenger service scheduled in five days time. We speak to maintenance technicians and watch them do their thing as they begin this complex process - everything from placing the headrest covers to scanning each and every life vest using some nifty RFID technology. And as ever we've got so many beauty shots of this aircraft - plus see how many other @condor aircraft you can spot in the video. There are many! Enjoy.

Oh wow, the two best aviation RUclipsrs, Gabe and Pascal, in the same video! Thanks for that! Please team up with Pascal and do a video together!
Thanks!! Will definitely do.
I flew on the old Condor 767's in the old Thomas Cook liveries many times years ago. Loving the rebranding going on with Condor right now. The stripes have really grown on me, and they are unmistakable.
The stripes are genius! Identifying a Brand through a pattern alone(nevermind Logo or colours) is a huge move from Condor.
It's just as memorable as the Checkboard pattern from Croatian.
The new livery concept is just awesome.
Wow! This is my favourite Condor airplane right now.
Great really Great docu and Pascal on Board 😀 Great Job Jana 🤗 in german we would say „Gänsehaut“…
Top class work there Gabe, and a big shout out to Condor for allowing the behind the scenes work as well, excellent sir👍
sooo beautiful😍 respect Condor✈ 💪
What an amazing video / insight into an amazing aircraft, the interior is possibly one of the best I have seen. Cant wait to see it in the air.
You're likely to have to wait a long time, since the accident it had with a baggage truck. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't written off!
Thank you very much for the beautiful Video from Frankfurt Airport and about Condor!😃👍 Very nice to see Pascal from another Point of View!🤗
Unfortunately "Romeo Bravo" suffered an incident meanwhile and is out of service in the moment.
Yes! Wishing Romeo Bravo a speedy recovery.
Congratulations to both Condor and Airbus for this milestone 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
Better planes for the German leisure airline, and a much needed boost for the A330 NEO program 😊😊😊😊
Mesmerizing indeed...the little details bring out the larger picture......much thanks for this video ...... :)
Pascal is the best
I love this youtubechannel, is everytime a expierence fpr old and young.
It's still got that "new plane" smell!
This is brilliant Gabe, genuinely love these videos.
Can’t believe this plane was damaged by a loader. It’s going to be out for a while. 😢
Yes, indeed.
This is awesome! Instantly, the blue stripes became my favourite Condor aircraft!
Really interesting video - enjoyed thoroughly. I think the blue and white is the most attractive of the condor liveries - really like it and so distinctive compared to what is becoming too common place today - white fuselage with only tail in colour
The stripes might help engineers repair the airframe after the accident it just had with a baggage truck! 😄
Excellent video with a gorgeous Condor new plane
Rebranding is awesome! I can only say that the A330neo is much, much better than the outdated Boeing 757 and 767.
Thanks for this vlog. Have an amazing day! Danka schöne.
Nice to see a behind the scenes. Love it 🎉😊
Excellent video. I definitely enjoy the behind the scenes much like the Etihad 380 video. And I had to laugh thinking about racing across the Frankfurt airport! I think I can recall a few times racing from one terminal through the Frankfurt airport’s maze to another terminal!
Glad I found your channel! Fascinating look at how a new aircraft is fitted for its first flight. Condor's new livery is growing on me!
Really beautiful bird. I use to hate this livery! now I love it. Very unique and that's a good thing.
Very well done video, good musics and amazing video shots. Congratulations.
Super cool. Loved it. 👍😊🇮🇪🇩🇪
Superb video as always 👍
beautiful plane and livery.
A330 NEO - brilliant and beautiful aircraft.
Very interesting! I love the behind-the-scenes videos.
Love these vids from FR24, like chicken soup for the soul ❤
Wonderful video man!
So interesting ... thank you.
What a beautiful bird, which I would love to fly someday.
I like airlines that purchase the optional extras especially for safety and I appreciate Condor purchased both the ROW/ROPS, ATSAW and the Alternate NWS option
Can you explain what these options do?
@@MrKitt1997 Runway Overun Warning/Protection System will basically alert if it thinks the runway is too short or you have insufficient braking to stop in time, ATSAW is a more advanced TCAS where you can see the traffic around you and more details about it, and the alternate Nosehweel steering basically means if you loose the green hydraulic system you can switch the NWS to use the yellow system instead so it isn't lost and you can still steer on ground
lovely video
Was there to spot the arrival if this particular aircraft when it first arrived @FRA from TLS as it was the first blue A330neo for Condor. Flew it in March 2024 from JFK to FRA 👍
In fact, it was damaged by a ground vehicle only a few weeks into operation and went AOG for roughly 5 months. Repair was finished shortly before I had my ride. Ultimately, it was only a few cycles old when I stepped onboard.
6:09 Aeronewsgermany ❤❤❤
Who's hoping to see part III with Gabriel on board the the inaugural flight? 🤔
A new zebra joined the fleet! In my opinion, it would be great if Condor bought some a321LRs or XLRs.
The Blue plane , my style!!!
Nice video, Gabriel. Always wanted to see how an aircraft is prepped for commercial service following the delivery flight.
Hi Gabriel. The Condor C-Series A-330 Neo RB preceded by a Lufthansa (Queen of the Skies) 747. Wonderful. A lot of Tedious "Little Things" to do in prep time. The aircraft looks very smart. I really like their color scheme of the interior of the aircraft, it goes well with the exterior livery.
great!
Look like Christmas stick😊
Nice
Never flown them yet but someday I will! 😀
And this aircraft is now damaged already by a vehicle…
Only 4 more 767s active, time is running! Not many pax versions left in Europe!
So this is where (what was supposed to be) Garuda's 4th A330neo ended up being at...
Cool video Gabe, I never heard about Condor Airlines before, I have Google it finds out while I was watching your show on RUclips. Umm too bad no flight from Dallas to Madrid. Cheers from Oklahoma. 🤩
Lovely video!!
Quick question: is this the same aircraft that received damaged from a tug on the ground at FRA? I think it was last week.
yes.... 😞
6:08 omg Pascal is so fucking handsome 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
I flew on romeo bravo on 14th september to PUJ. We had a dealy of 4 hours because of some technical issues. It was the first delay for this aircraft on his 13 flight…. maybe some spooky activities 🙃🙃🙃
Interesting that they back the aircraft into the hangar. Any specific reason for that?
Please! Please! Update flight radar to add baldonnel airport in dublin, Ireland. Ive been waiting for years!!! 🙏🙏
Yeah it would be soo good
The blue one is 3 Years old on Flightradar24?? DANRB
Interesting, this plane is over 3 years old, it was ordered from Garuda, but was not picked up.
Can't go wrong when German Engineers are there.
Look Alitalia beautiful
Any chance Casement Baldonnel EIME any chance that comeing to Flight Radar 24
OMG!!! Yes that would be so good!!! It's been missing for too long!
I Know it would be good For Dublin I hope it get s added
Oh, you use flightrader too!
You thought he didn't???
this is the flightradar24 channel, what do you think?
12:50 what is a jetlight?
So if they strip a lot of stuff out what happens to it, does it get sent back, stored or sold....would be great to see the whole process interesting what has to be done that flyers take for granted, and they complain about seat prices ....
15:31 why no colour matching here :/
excellent video.
strong brand image, but for me it still looks like "prison air".
Wait...how is 2:01 still a thing.
I just saw that this plane was on crash 😂. (Ground vehicle hit the plane when was on parking)
Great video! Gives us an interesting inside view... Btw those shoulder things are the wrong color, they need to be blue-white for this plane, not green-white
You mean the rank epaulettes? They are blue and gold, always!
@@wakeupcall2665 O sorry, I wrote shoulder, but I meant those things they put on the seats.
Wait Why is there an alitalia a320 in 2023
2:02
this is the one that was damaged recently
does anyone have the track id at 3:00
Space Race This Other Space
@@germantelevisionclips8642 thanks a lot boss
Am I the only person who thinks that the "new" condor livery makes the planes look like sticks of Blackpool Rock?
Rest assured, you are not alone. Those stripes make those aircraft so ugly, I'd almost pay more to fly on someone else's planes. Even a tail logo with the condor itself (an ugly buzzard) would look better.
There needs to be a blur whenever the livery Is shown, along with a warning.
Why? The livery is so creative, not just plane white as all the other airlines use.
@christianbayerstein5243 it is plain, it's just plain stripes not creative, looks like a 2 y/o designed it.
Seems it'll take a lot of flights to earn back those $300m!
🧈
"The Flying Prisoner".
German "ëdginess" knows no limits, proper minging.
.
Awesome episode. Actually saw it land a few days ago at LAX via LAFlights RUclips Plane-spotters. Didn’t realize it was brand new!
People studied years and years to come up with such liveries.
And this is the best they could do? Send them back to school.
And it looks amazing!
That could never fly, the stripes go the wrong way!
Vertical stripes make a plane look longer, right?
Condor liveries are unique but ugly in my opinion! I really don't like them
The presenter seems more enamored with himself than with the topic matter. No thank you. I will move on.
6:10 @Aeronewsgermany ;)
aircraft design has really stepped up its game for the future but the color schemes of aircraft are pretty much a disaster believe it or not one of the worst rated color designs is condor Airways I know they want to get off the Thomas Cook scandal but the managers who picked these colors should be fired most of these aircraft don't look that great the blue one looks like a Jewish uniform in a concentration camp you can Google it yourself they've picked the wrong colors Condor should go back to the old school black nose yellow and gray bottoms with the proper logo I also have problems with other airlines like Air Canada getting off the Reds from the early 80s and going to a black non-elegant disaster color WestJet in Canada has always been this blue it works for the low budget Airline and there are probably 10 other companies that Rick they're design colors for their aircraft as no one cares how they look like this is only my opinion but there is many people who have the same ideas as me and the best advice I can give to Condor is go back to the original thank you
That’s an awful livery for such a good looking aircraft.
The stripe livery is for sure unmistakable, original, whatever you want... But let me say it is ugly, inelegant. Even my little grandson could have painted it better.. I know probably there have been crowds of designers behind it but, in my opinion, it is the ugliest livery ever...
Lol some people don't like a color ? 😅i think most of them were color blind 😊
Honestly I do not like at all the paint that Condor put on all his planes, they should take a tour of Latin America to see what really is a good scheme of colors and designs and as a cultural breviary the A330 what is behind the Condor is from a Mexican cargo company based in Mexico City, That's what I mean when I talk about good designs. 👎🏻To Condor.
S. America lol
