Around half of the over 1,000 Boeing 757s produced remain in service worldwide. Most of these operational aircraft are in the United States, with many now serving as freighters. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines are the largest operators of passenger Boeing 757s, with 110 and 61 aircraft respectively.
The Boeing 757, known for its elongated shape as the "flying pencil," ended production in 2004 after delivering 1,049 units. Despite their age, these planes continue to fly as airlines look for replacements. According to Cirium data, four airlines will operate the shortest Boeing 757 routes in 2025: Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Azur Air, and Fly Khiva.
Fly Khiva is set to operate the shortest route at just 118 miles from Namangan Airport to Tashkent International Airport in Uzbekistan. This small Uzbek airline offers flights within Uzbekistan and to leisure destinations like Georgia and Egypt. Delta will operate a return flight from Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta to Birmingham–Shuttlesworth International Airport at an average distance of 134 miles.
