Lufthansa will welcome its newest Boeing 787-9 to
Frankfurt shortly before Christmas. The aircraft, named Berlin and registered D-ABPU,
features a special livery created for the airline’s 100th anniversary in 2026.
After receiving its paintwork at Boeing’s Charleston facility in South
Carolina, the Dreamliner was transferred to Everett, Washington, and is now
preparing for delivery to Germany.
The anniversary design blends heritage and innovation:
a deep blue fuselage carries a striking white crane, whose wings flow
seamlessly into the aircraft’s own — turning the 787-9 into a symbolic “flying
ambassador” for the next century of Lufthansa aviation.
Lufthansa expects D-ABPU to enter regular scheduled
service in January 2026.
