The aviation industry is set to soar in 2025 with a host of exciting developments. From innovative new routes to luxurious cabin upgrades, airlines are once again on track to forge brand new travel experiences. As the year comes to a close, we\u2019re looking ahead to 2025 and what advancements we will see and hope to see in the next twelve months.<\/p>\n While there hasn\u2019t been any official announcement by Condor when it comes to lounges in Frankfurt, our guess is that with the launch of a new feeder network by the carrier due to the fractious relationship with previous partner Lufthansa, a new lounge is most likely on the cards. After all, the premium passenger base \u2013 that will start connecting via Berlin, Hamburg, Milan and Rome to name a few \u2013 will need a lounge during layovers, and while the airline currently uses Lufthansa lounges, now is a time for Condor to forge ahead quickly with a ground product to rival that of struggling Lufthansa, who has been hit by continued setbacks when it comes to launching its Allegris product. Could we see Europe\u2019s Design Airline of the Year 2024 take a big leap in 2025, next year will tell. <\/p>\n 2025 will see Cathay Pacific\u2019s highly anticipated Aria Suite finally debut on long-haul international routes including London which is slated to be the first route to get the configuration. The new Business Class suite might have won Cathay awards at this year\u2019s awards, but it\u2019s the fact Cathay has now returned to its pre-pandemic glory, that there is yet another leading Asian carrier in the region upping the ante when it comes to passenger experience. There\u2019s no surprise that many airlines are looking to invest in new cabins in the region, from Thai Airways to China Airlines, every airline in the region is sharpening their collective pencils in order to win over market share in an already impressive region for hard and soft product alike. Asia for sure will be a region to keep an eye on in 2025 for new product launches and announcements. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thedesignair.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/business_class__03__credit_condor.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n1. Lufthansa\u2019s woes could bode well for Condor, but will that mean a new lounge?<\/h4>\n
