Several weeks ago, Lufthansa announced plans to introduce a special fleet of planes in a 100th anniversary livery. The first of these aircraft is a newly delivered Boeing 787 — I’ve gotta hand it to Lufthansa, this is one of the coolest special liveries we’ve seen.
The first plane to get this livery is a newly delivered Boeing 787-9 with the registration code D-ABPU — the Dreamliner just landed in Germany on the morning of December 23, 2025, as it flew from Paine Field (PAE) to Frankfurt (FRA). The aircraft is expected to enter commercial service in the coming weeks (though with only four business class seats per flight on sale).
In addition to the crane, the numerals “100” are integrated on the left side of the fuselage and the lettering “1926 / 2026” on the right side. A “100” logo is also painted on the underside of the aircraft.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
