The first aircraft was used for the pilgrimage flight and within the same year, two destinations — the Canary Islands and Majorca — were included in its schedule. Lufthansa became the sole owner of the airline in 1960 and changed the name of the airline to Condor Flugdienst GmbH. in 1966, the company started long-haul flights and five years later, they purchased the Boeing 747, which was the biggest aircraft of that time.
