Lufthansa has revealed a centennial livery on a Boeing 787-9 (D-ABPU) to mark its 100th anniversary in 2026, featuring a white crane and “1926 / 2026” branding.
The aircraft, designed by Otto Firle in 1918, will be delivered in November 2025 and enter service in December.
The livery includes a 100 logo on the fuselage and underside, celebrating Lufthansa’s history and employee commitment.

The special livery of the Boeing 787 honours our identity and also stands for a proud team of Lufthansa employees who give everything every day for the safety and well-being of our guests.”
