Condor Ends Boeing 757 Operations with Farewell Flight
German leisure airline Condor has concluded 35 years of Boeing 757 operations by conducting a special farewell flight with the last aircraft in its fleet. On November 5, 2025, the Boeing 757-300, registered D-ABOM and adorned in a distinctive red-and-white candy-striped livery, flew a round-trip from Frankfurt to Vienna carrying more than 100 passengers before retiring from commercial service.
Long-standing Role of the Boeing 757
For over three decades, the Boeing 757’s slim, pencil-like design was central to Condor’s short and medium-haul fleet. The airline operated 18 Boeing 757-200s and nine of the larger 757-300 models, according to ch-aviation.
Retirement and Farewell Flight Details
In recent weeks, the remaining 757s were retired, with many sent to Cotswold Airport in the UK for dismantling. The final flight featured long-time Condor staff, journalists, and devoted fans of the Boeing 757.
