Shanghai Airlines Retires Last Boeing 757-200 Aircraft

Shanghai Airlines (FM) has retired the last Boeing 757-200 aircraft from its fleet, making an end of its nearly 10 years' service in the Shanghai-based carrier.

The 757-200, Registration B-2875, made its final revenue flight for the carrier on March 21. The airline flew from Harbin to Shanghai Pudong on its final passenger flight for the carrier, operated as flight FM9172.

The aircraft was the second-last 757 aircraft produced by Boeing, which took its maiden flight on October 5, 2004 and joined the fleet of Shanghai Airlines on March 31, 2005.

Meanwhile, Shanghai Airlines' another 757-200 aircraft, Registration B-2876, had been phased out in November 2014, which was the last 757 produced by the manufacturer.

Since the first 757-200 (Registration B-2833) was delivered to Shanghai Airlines in 1993, the 757-200 fleet has served the airline for nearly 22 years. Now, the carrier has retired all of its 10 Boeing 757-200 aircraft.
