Lufthansa Airlines will introduce a special livery on a new Boeing 787-9 to celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2026. The aircraft, which will enter service in December, features a blue fuselage with a white crane, symbolizing the airline's identity. The design integrates the crane's wings with those of the plane, representing both tradition and progress.

The left side of the fuselage displays the number “100,” while the right side bears the inscription “1926 / 2026.” Additionally, a “100” logo appears on the underside of the aircraft.

Jens Ritter, CEO of Lufthansa Airlines, stated: "Our Lufthansa crane stands for safety, pioneering spirit, premium quality, but also for freedom and reliability. This has been the case for the past 100 years and will continue to be so in the future. We are proud of our tradition and our values, and we look forward to continuing our great history. The special livery of the Boeing 787 honors 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."
