Condor brings curtain down on Boeing 757 operations

Condor Ends Boeing 757 Era with Farewell Flight

German leisure airline Condor has concluded 35 years of Boeing 757 operations by organizing a farewell flight featuring the last jet of this type in its fleet. The event marked the end of an era for the carrier’s short and medium-haul services.

Final Flight Celebration

On November 5, 2025, the final Boeing 757-300, registered as D-ABOM and painted in a red-and-white candy-striped livery, carried over 100 passengers from Frankfurt to Vienna on a symbolic round-trip before being retired from active use.

Fleet History and Legacy

For more than three decades, the Boeing 757 has been a central part of Condor’s operations. According to ch-aviation, the airline employed 18 Boeing 757-200s and nine extended 757-300s during this period.

Decommissioning Process

In recent weeks, Condor withdrew the remaining aircraft from operation, with several transported to Cotswold Airport in the United Kingdom for dismantling and parting out.

Passengers and Enthusiasts

The farewell flight included long-serving Condor employees, journalists, and aviation enthusiasts devoted to the Boeing 757 model. A total of 75 tickets were auctioned through Condor’s online shop in September 2025 for those wishing to join the final journey.

“For over 30 years, the pencil-like shape of the Boeing 757 has formed the backbone of Condor’s short and medium-haul fleet.”

Author’s Summary

The farewell flight from Frankfurt to Vienna marked the close of Condor’s iconic Boeing 757 chapter after more than three decades of faithful service.
