Overview

  • The special scheme was painted in North Charleston, South Carolina, on 787-9 registration D-ABPU.
  • Lufthansa expects delivery to Frankfurt in November 2025, with entry into passenger service in December 2025.
  • The design uses a deep-blue fuselage with a white crane whose wings visually merge with the aircraft’s wings.
  • Markings include a large “100” on the left side and underside and “1926/2026” on the right side.
  • CEO Jens Ritter said the crane signifies safety, pioneering spirit, premium quality, freedom, and reliability, and the aircraft arrives with the Allegris interior as the carrier prepares a Project FOX long‑haul refresh from spring 2026.
