Lufthansa celebrated its 100th anniversary with a special flight featuring the modern Airbus A350-900 at Berlin Brandenburg Airport. The aircraft carried a commemorative livery marking the journey from 1926 to 2026, symbolizing a century of aviation progress.
The airline’s origins trace back to Deutsche Luft Hansa AG, which operated early flights using basic aircraft like the Fokker F II from Berlin. Over time, Lufthansa evolved through multiple aviation eras, adapting to technological, economic, and global changes.
From early open-cockpit planes to today’s advanced jets, Lufthansa has continuously modernized its fleet. The airline now operates cutting-edge aircraft such as the Airbus A350 and is preparing to induct the next-generation Boeing 777X, known for its innovative folding wingtips and efficiency.
This milestone highlights Lufthansa’s transformation into a global aviation leader. Its century-long journey reflects resilience, innovation, and a commitment to shaping the future of air travel while honoring its historic legacy.
