Condor Flugdienst GmbH (DE/CFG) has announced that in November 2025 it will operate the last scheduled flight in its history with a Boeing 757-300, closing a 35-year service of the 757 in its fleet, including the -200 and -300 versions.

Starting in 1990, Condor began to modernize and expand its fleet, adding its first Boeing 757-200 and Boeing 767-200 aircraft, initially operated by the production company Südflug, a subsidiary of the airline, which was fully integrated into Condor in the Fall 1992.

The German airline’s first Boeing 757, registered as D-ABNA, made its maiden flight on February 26th, 1990. This Boeing 757-230, produced in Renton, was added to Condor’s fleet on March 19th, 1990, entering regular service a few days later.

By March 1994, Condor had already added 20 Boeing 757-200s to its fleet, all of which were of the -230 version, configured for 212 passengers in single class. In late 2006, the last 757-200 was withdrawn from its fleet, ending 16 years of operation of these aircraft by Condor.

At the 1996 Farnborough Air Show, an order was placed that marked a milestone in the history of Condor, as well as for the Boeing 757-300.

Condor Flugdienst GmbH, on its 40th anniversary, confirmed a firm order for 12 brand new Boeing 757-300s, scheduled to be delivered in early 1999, with regular service commencing in Q1 1999. Thus, the airline became the launch customer for the 757-300, operating its first scheduled flight on March 19th, 1999.

The Boeing 757-300s are seven meters longer than the Boeing 757-200s, being able to carry 20% more passengers, plus 50% more cargo volume. During the early years, Condor configured its Boeing 757-300s with 252 seats in single class, later modifying them to a high-density configuration with 275 seats.

In a press release, Condor has stated it will perform the last flight in its history using a Boeing 757-300 on November 5th, with an exclusive farewell flight between Frankfurt and Vienna. Condor employees will be traveling on board the flight, as well as “Boeing 757 fans,” as Condor will be selling up to 75 tickets on its website for those who want to take part in this unique flight.

This will mark the end of an era at Condor, by retiring its last Boeing aircraft from its fleet following nearly 56 years of uninterrupted operations, including the Boeing 737-100, Boeing 737-200, Boeing 737-300, Boeing 737-400, Boeing 747-200, Boeing 747-400, Boeing 757-200, Boeing 757-300, and Boeing 767-300, all Boeing aircraft that were part of the German airline.

Until late October, Condor plans to operate between six and seven Boeing 757-300s, based in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt, flying from/to Antalya, Corfu, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Jerez, Hurghada, Palma de Mallorca, and Rhodes.

The last scheduled flight from Düsseldorf will be on October 29th, on the Düsseldorf – Palma de Mallorca – Düsseldorf route, while the last flight from Frankfurt will be on November 2th, on the Frankfurt – Hurghada – Frankfurt route.

According to our database, these are Condor’s current routes conducted with its Boeing 757-300 aircraft.

After the retirement of its Boeing 757s, Condor will operate an all-Airbus fleet, consisting of Airbus A319, Airbus A320, Airbus A321, and Airbus A330 aircraft, serving European routes with narrow-body aircraft, while operations to Africa, Asia, Canada, Central America, and the United States are mainly carried out by wide-body aircraft.

The German airline has 2 Airbus A319-100s, 21 Airbus A320-200s, 4 Airbus A320neos, 13 Airbus A321-200s, 6 Airbus A321neos, and 18 Airbus A330neos, for a total of 64 aircraft, not including the 7 current Boeing 757-300s.

Frankfurt International Airport is Condor’s main hub in Germany, with flights to several countries in Europe, as well as intercontinental flights. In line with our data, these are Condor’s intercontinental flights at the time of publication:

Armenia, Austria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland are part of Condor’s schedule in Europe, mainly operated by Airbus aircraft, and some routes with Boeing 757s.

SkyLine Express, a Ukrainian airline, currently has five Boeing 757-330s in its fleet, four of which come from Condor and keep part of the German airline’s livery. They are registered as UR-AZN, UR-AZO, UR-SLB, and UR-SLE, also still having the same seat configuration. The 757 with registration UR-AZP previously operated for Arkia Israel International Airlines and Azur Air.
