In 2026, Lufthansa will celebrate a significant anniversary: 100 years since the founding of the first Lufthansa in 1926. To mark this special occasion, LH is taking off with a unique “anniversary fleet” that combines tradition and innovation.

The anniversary fleet will be led by the brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner “Berlin” with the registration D-ABPU, which is expected in Frankfurt in December (commercial service debut: January 2026). An Airbus A380, an Airbus A350-1000, an Airbus A350-900, an Airbus A320, and a Boeing 747-8 Intercontinental will also be painted.
The blue fuselage will be adorned with a white crane whose wings merge into the wings. In addition to the crane, a “100” is integrated on the left side of the fuselage and the lettering “1926 / 2026” on the right side. A “100” will also be visible on the underside of the aircraft.
The aircraft will gradually be given the new design – the anniversary fleet is expected to be complete in fall 2026.
