Condor Marks Farewell to Boeing 757-300 Era

Condor Airlines is preparing to retire its final Boeing 757-300 this November, bringing an end to a 35-year relationship with Boeing aircraft. The milestone marks a significant transition for the German leisure carrier, which has relied on Boeing jets for decades to serve popular holiday destinations across Europe, North Africa, and beyond.

The farewell of the last 757-300 symbolizes more than just the retirement of a single aircraft type. For Condor employees and aviation enthusiasts alike, it represents the closing chapter of a long-standing era defined by Boeing’s narrowbody jets. The airline’s Boeing fleet once included 727s, 737s, 757s, and 767s, which became a familiar sight at European airports.

To commemorate the occasion, Condor will operate an exclusive farewell flight on November 5, 2025. The special service is expected to draw aviation fans eager to experience one last flight aboard the iconic 757-300, known for its long, slender fuselage and efficient performance on high-density leisure routes.

Condor has been steadily modernizing its fleet with next-generation Airbus aircraft to improve efficiency, reduce emissions, and enhance passenger comfort. The retirement of the 757-300 underscores the airline’s shift toward a standardized Airbus fleet, including the A320neo and A330neo families, which will form the backbone of its operations in the coming years.

While the retirement of the 757-300 closes a memorable chapter in Condor’s history, it also highlights the airline’s ongoing transformation and commitment to a more sustainable, modern fleet for its future operations.
