Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - In the fight with Lufthansa for future passengers, the vacation airline Condor has turned on the Federal Cartel Office.
A Condor spokeswoman in Frankfurt said on Monday that a complaint was lodged with the authorities.
In essence, it is about the fact that Lufthansa terminated the long-term flat-rate contract for feeder flights to Condor long-distance travel last November.
This makes connecting connections with a change of airline more difficult to book and also more risky for passengers and tour operators in the event of delays.
The Lufthansa Group has declared that it wants to get more involved in the business of long-haul tourist flights.
Condor, which was rescued with a KfW loan, accuses Lufthansa, which is also state-supported, of abusing its strong market position in Germany and Central Europe. "This step has become necessary because Lufthansa has continued a broadly based abuse strategy in which it exploits its monopoly in domestic German traffic and its dominant position in European traffic," the spokeswoman said. Lufthansa did not want to comment on the ongoing proceedings. First the "Handelsblatt" reported.
