Lufthansa Reveals 100th-Anniversary Livery on New Boeing 787-9

The design spotlights Lufthansa’s century-long crane emblem ahead of the January 2026 centenary.

Overview

  • The special scheme is applied to 787-9 D-ABPU painted in North Charleston, featuring a deep-blue fuselage, a white crane whose wings align with the aircraft’s wings, and a belly “100” mark.
  • Lufthansa plans to take delivery in Frankfurt in November 2025, with entry into commercial service targeted for December 2025.
  • The jet will arrive fitted with the airline’s new Allegris long-haul cabin.
  • Large “100” appears on the left fuselage with “1926/2026” on the right, reflecting the carrier’s centenary reference to the 1926 founding of Deutsche Luft Hansa and the enduring Otto Firle–designed crane.
  • The aircraft is positioned as a flying brand ambassador as the group prepares a €70 million Project FOX onboard refresh launching in spring 2026.
