The A380 is the 4th aircraft in Lufthansa’s fleet to feature this design. At the beginning of the month, a freshly painted blue Airbus A350-900 landed in Munich. A Boeing 787-9 and an Airbus A320neo, both based in Frankfurt, are also flying in the “100th anniversary colors.” Another Airbus A320neo with an XXL crane also operates commercial flights.
35 people worked on the Airbus A380 for exactly 34 days. They brought the 47-meter-long stylized crane on the aircraft to life and painted a total area of over 4,000 square meters. That is equivalent to about 16 tennis courts.
A Boeing 747-8 and an Airbus A350-1000 will follow in the coming weeks. Seven special liveries will then be in service to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the first “Luft Hansa”.
