In November 2025, Condor will bid a final farewell to its last Boeing 757-300, marking the end of more than three decades of operations with aircraft from the American manufacturer. For 35 years, Boeing aircraft were a cornerstone of the German airline’s fleet, making this farewell a highly symbolic moment for both aviation enthusiasts and employees alike.

An Exclusive Farewell Flight

Condor has announced that it will organize a special farewell flight on November 5, 2025. The experience will include the presence of fans of the legendary model and team members who have worked alongside the aircraft throughout its service.

The company will make 75 tickets available, which will be auctioned starting September 22, 2025, through Condor’s official store (https://shop.condor.com/pages/boeing-757).

Itinerary of the Final Tribute

The aircraft will take off from Frankfurt bound for Vienna, the city chosen to host an event dedicated to the iconic 757. As a final highlight, the return flight to Germany will feature what Condor has dubbed the “world’s highest party,” an onboard celebration that promises to be unforgettable.

Last Opportunities to Fly on the 757

Those who do not secure a seat on the special flight will still have the chance to experience traveling on this model during its final weeks of commercial service. The airline will keep six units in operation until the end of October, connecting Düsseldorf and Frankfurt with popular vacation destinations such as Palma de Mallorca, Hurghada, Fuerteventura, and Gran Canaria.

The final flights have already been scheduled:

Düsseldorf – Palma – Düsseldorf on October 29, 2025.
Frankfurt – Hurghada – Frankfurt on November 2, 2025.

Condor’s COO, Christian Schmitt, emphasized the significance of this step: “With the retirement of the Boeing 757, an era at Condor comes to an end. At the same time, a new chapter begins with a modern, more efficient, and sustainable Airbus fleet. Moreover, Condor is no longer just a leisure airline; our expanded network with new urban connections demonstrates this. That’s why our farewell flight combines nostalgia for the last B757 with an optimistic look toward the future, symbolized by our urban destination, Vienna.”
