Next month, Condor will end its 35-year operation of the Boeing 757 family, marking a significant change in European commercial aviation. The German leisure airline plans to conduct its final scheduled flights with the type on October 29 between Düsseldorf and Palma, and on November 2 from Frankfurt to Hurghada. A special farewell round trip from Frankfurt to Vienna is scheduled for November 5, which will include both airline representatives and members of the public who won tickets through an auction.
Christian Schmitt, Chief Operating Officer at Condor, commented: "Our expanded network [has] new city connections. That is why our farewell flight combines the nostalgia of our last 757 with a joyful look into the future, symbolized by our city destination, Vienna."
After Condor retires its Boeing 757s, there will be fewer airlines operating this aircraft type in Europe. According to Cirium data for December 2025, there are expected to be 309 flights using the Boeing 757-200 to and from European airports during that month. United Airlines will operate most of these flights—226 out of the total—with routes such as Newark Liberty International Airport to Edinburgh being among the busiest. United's services also include Dublin and Washington routes and a single Porto-to-Newark flight early in December before resuming again in February.
