The price was not disclosed. OE-LAZ is due to be ferried to the US in October, and the other two will follow at the end of the year. A 767 that is 26 years old is worth more as engines, landing gear and spares for other operators than as a passenger aircraft.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The airline's final scheduled 767 flight is expected to land in Vienna on 1 December 2026, according to Aviation Shop. Austrian has not yet confirmed which of the last two aircraft will fly it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"max-width:550px;margin:0 auto 28px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?id=2103275512676434186&theme=light\" style=\"width:100%;height:400px;border:none;overflow:hidden\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The 787-9 Takes Over<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>The replacement is the Boeing 787-9. Austrian received its first two Dreamliners in 2024, and the type is steadily taking over the long-haul network. Aviation Shop reports that Austrian expects seven 787s in service by summer 2027 and a long-haul fleet of twelve 787-9s by the end of the 2028\/2029 winter schedule.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For Austrian, that means lower fuel burn and a more modern cabin. For Vienna's aviation fans, it means the last few weeks to see a 767 in red, white and red. After 38 years, two aircraft are left.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0 6px\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jC9784DQQ70\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><p style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin:6px 0 24px;font-style:italic\">Planespotter footage of OE-LAZ landing in Vienna from Washington Dulles during its final weeks with Austrian Airlines (Vienna Planespotter).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><em>Sources: aeroTELEGRAPH (13 October 2026); ch-aviation; Austrian Wings; Aviation Shop; Wikimedia Commons file data for OE-LAZ.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<!-- mfsh:bottom -->\r\n\r\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"mfsh-trigger mfsh-bottom\" data-mfsh-placement=\"bottom\" aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"><svg><use href=\"#mfsh-i-share\"\/><\/svg>Share this story<\/button>\r\n\r\n<!-- \/mfsh:bottom -->\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>When did Austrian Airlines retire Boeing 767 OE-LAZ?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">Austrian Airlines officially took Boeing 767-300ER OE-LAZ out of service on 13 October 2026 at its technical base in Vienna.
