At the official unveiling at the paint shop at Münster/Osnabrück Airport, the Eurowings Airbus A320 ‘D-AEWM’ was presented in an exciting new design and also celebrated a world premiere: the ‘BVB09’ lettering running across the entire aircraft is painted in a very special matt varnish that is being used in civil aviation for the first time.
Even the first version of this Airbus A320, which celebrated its premiere in 2016, attracted attention far beyond the football scene. The BVB Airbus, completely decked out in black and yellow, was a real highlight every time it arrived at airports – and at times was the most photographed aircraft in Europe.
In 2022, Eurowings became the first airline in the world to dedicate its own aircraft to millions of football fans: BVB fans were actively involved in the design of the ‘Fan Airbus’ and were able to help decide which moments and personalities from BVB’s history should be immortalised on the aircraft.
