Lufthansa Dreamliner receives special livery to mark centennial anniversary

(2 October 2025)

Lufthansa is presenting an iconic special livery to mark its 100th anniversary in 2026. Starting in December, a new Boeing 787-9 will proudly carry the symbol of Lufthansa's unique identity around the world: the crane.

The special livery features a blue fuselage with a white crane hovering above it, its wings merging into the wings of the aircraft. The wings of the aircraft thus virtually become the wings of the crane. An unprecedented design that combines movement and elegance, tradition and the future. Designed as a trademark in 1918, the crane has become Lufthansa's unmistakable distinguishing feature worldwide over the decades.

The Boeing 787-9 with the registration D-ABPU received its special livery in Charleston, USA. Lufthansa is expected to take delivery of the aircraft with Allegris interior in Frankfurt in November. It is scheduled to enter regular service in December and will act as a flying ambassador, promoting Lufthansa's anniversary around the world.
