Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Condor Airlines adds a pink-striped plane for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Airlines, ,

Condor, the German airline with the candy stripe livery in an assortment of fun colors, has added a pink-striped livery to one of its Airbust A320 aircraft to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which runs through October.

Condor’s “Fly Pink” plane joins the “FlyPink” initiative founded by QantasLink pilots in 2015.

The initiative supports the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) and contributes to local breast cancer charities around the world. 

This is the first new livery color for Condor since it launched in 2022 with five other colors.

The cabin of the “FlyPink” Plane will also sport pink on headrest covers and on special “safety cards” which have detailed information on breast cancer prevention, according to a Condor statement.

There’s also pink-striped Condor merchandise, including umbrellas, water bottles and beach towels, for sale in the Condor Shop and on board. The proceeds from these items will be donated to Brustkrebs Deutschland e.V., a breast cancer prevention and research association in Germany.

Why are airports and airlines going pink in October?

Health,

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and throughout the month you’re likely to see airports and airlines going pink to raise awareness and, in some cases, to raise funds to support breast cancer research.

We’ll add to this list as we spot and are alerted to other displays, but here are few to get started.

During October, Delta Air Lines raises money to support research projects through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Since 2005, the airline has raised over $19 million for the cause.

On Board: Customers can donate by putting cash (any currency) or gift cards into a plastic bag provided by the cabin crew that will be collected by flight attendants wearing gloves. 

Delta is also adding a QR code in the Delta-provided snack kit on flights greater than 250 miles. By scanning this QR code, customers can use a card to donate to BCRF. 

Online: You can also donate year-round on delta.com and through SkyWish, the charitable arm of Delta’s SkyMiles and frequent flyer program, which allows Delta and its SkyMiles members to donate miles to charitable organizations worldwide.  

The airline’s Pink Boutique is virtual, offering discounted co-branded Delta and BCRF merchandise, including a BCRF/Delta mask.

Missing you, Mary Catherine Lamb. Damn you, breast cancer.
