Laudamotion is the new airline venture of Austrian ex Formula One driver and aviation entrepeneur Niki Lauda. The airline was originally

founded early 2016 when Niki Lauda took over bizjet operator Amira Air, and rebranded it as Laudamotion. Up until February 2018 Lauda-

motion operated chartered business flights with a fleet of business jets. Late January 2018 Niki Lauda took over the insolvent NIKI airline (an

airline established by Niki himself in 2003 and which he sold to the Airberlin group in 2011) and transformed it to an airline with a regular

passenger fleet consisting of five Airbus A320s and one Airbus A321. Eventually Laudamotion will grow to an airline with fifteen aircraft. To fill

its aircraft for the summer 2018 season, Laudamotion signed contracts with Condor, who took over sales and marketing, and Eurowings, which

could use the additional capacity. Initial destinations included flights from Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Basel to Palma de Mallorca,

Ibiza and Málaga, which can be booked through the Condor website and travel agencies. However, on 20 March 2018 it was announced that

Ryanair would acquire 24.9% of Laudamotion, potentially rising to 75%, subject to approval by EU authorities. As a result of this deal Condor

and Eurowings announced that they will cancel its cooperation and sales agreement with Laudamotion on short notice. Therefore the wetlease

contract between both will end by 31 May 2018, making the short term future of Laudamotion very insecure. Their sole Airbus A321 OE-ICG is

seen here at Düsseldorf on 27 April 2018 by Coen Capelle.
