The Thomas Cook subsidiary presented the twinjet (registration D-AICA, MSN774) at Berlin Schönefeld airport yesterday and named it 'Hans' after the late German tourism entrepreneur Hans Geisler.
Munich-based Geisler Tours was the first holiday company to charter a Condor aircraft when the airline began operations - then named Deutsche Flugdienst - with three Vickers Vikings in 1956.

The retro exterior is based on a livery from the early 1960s.
The repainted aircraft was manufactured in 1998 and is owned by Lufthansa Leasing, according to Flightglobal's ACAS database.

Condor has updated the interior of its A320 fleet to the manufacturer's current standard, which includes larger overhead bins and better noise insulation at a lower overall weight.
