#farewellB757: Condor celebrates the end of an era

Germany

After 35 years with Boeing aircraft, Condor will retire its final Boeing 757-300 this November.

The milestone marks both a nostalgic farewell and the beginning of a new fleet era with Airbus aircraft.

Exclusive farewell flight on November 5

To honor the occasion, Condor will operate a special farewell flight on November 5, 2025. The aircraft will depart from Frankfurt and fly to Vienna for a dedicated farewell event, before returning with what the airline calls “the world’s highest party.”

A total of 75 tickets for the event will be auctioned via the Condor Shop starting September 22, 2025. Aviation enthusiasts and long-time companions of the Boeing 757 are invited to join this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Voices from Condor

“By bidding farewell to the Boeing 757, an era at Condor comes to an end,” said Christian Schmitt, COO of Condor. “At the same time, this marks the beginning of a new chapter with a modern, more efficient and more sustainable Airbus fleet. Our farewell flight combines the nostalgia of our last B757 with a joyful look into the future, symbolized by Vienna, one of our new city destinations.”

Last chance to fly the 757

Travelers unable to secure a farewell flight ticket still have the chance to fly on the Boeing 757-300 in regular service until early November. Condor currently operates six B757s, connecting Düsseldorf and Frankfurt with popular leisure destinations including Palma de Mallorca, Hurghada, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria.

The final scheduled flights are planned as follows:

· October 29, 2025: Düsseldorf – Palma – Düsseldorf

· November 2, 2025: Frankfurt – Hurghada – Frankfurt

A new fleet chapter

With the phase-out of its Boeing aircraft, Condor continues its strategic fleet renewal, focusing on Airbus models that promise greater efficiency, sustainability and passenger comfort.
