Condor brings curtain down on Boeing 757 operations

Condor Ends Boeing 757 Operations with Farewell Flight

German leisure airline Condor has concluded 35 years of operating the Boeing 757 with a special farewell flight on November 5, 2025. The last aircraft in its fleet, a Boeing 757-300 registered as D-ABOM, flew over 100 passengers on a round trip from Frankfurt to Vienna before being retired from service.

History of Condor's Boeing 757 Fleet

For more than three decades, the slender Boeing 757 was the core of Condor's short and medium-haul operations. The airline operated a total of 27 Boeing 757 aircraft, including 18 of the 757-200 model and nine of the longer 757-300, according to ch-aviation.

Retirement and Farewell Flight Details

In recent weeks, most remaining Boeing 757s were retired and ferried to Cotswold Airport in the UK for dismantling. The farewell flight featured the last 757-300, sporting a distinctive red-and-white candy-striped livery.

"The flight between Frankfurt and Vienna carried long-standing staff, journalists, and dedicated Boeing 757 fans."

Seventy-five tickets for the final flight were auctioned online by Condor in September 2025, giving enthusiasts a chance to be part of the historic event.

Legacy

The Boeing 757's pencil-like silhouette was a defining image of Condor’s fleet for over 30 years, marking the end of an era in the airline's history.
