Lufthansa has announced the addition of two more aircraft to their anniversary fleet featuring a special livery, with an Airbus A320neo and A350-900 soon joining the first specially painted aircraft, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

On Sunday (January 18, 2026), Lufthansa announced the addition of two more aircraft to their special livery 100 anniversary fleet. An Airbus A320neo and A350-900 will soon join the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner ‘Berlin’ already sporting the iconic centennial livery design. Three additional aircraft will join the anniversary fleet by fall 2026. In the coming days, the Airbus A320neo and A350-900 will leave the paint shops in Norwich, England, and Châteauroux, France, both featuring the iconic anniversary design.
The blue fuselage is adorned with a white crane whose wings merge into the wings. Next to the crane, a ‘100’ is integrated on the left side of the fuselage and the lettering ‘1926 | 2026’ on the right side. A ‘100’ can also be seen on the undercarriage of the aircraft. The A320neo (registration D-AING) is expected to arrive in Frankfurt on January 19, 2026, and will then enter regular service with its first flight to Larnaca, Cyprus. The A350-900 (registration D-AIXL) is currently expected to arrive in Munich on February 3, 2026.
The Boeing 787-9 (D-ABPU), which landed in Frankfurt on December 23, will also begin regular service on January 20, 2026, with its first flight taking it to Mumbai, India. As a flying ambassador for the anniversary year, it will delight passengers and planespotters worldwide on international routes. These aircraft further expand the ‘anniversary fleet’ and underscore the significance of this special year for Lufthansa. By fall 2026, three more aircraft will be painted with the special design: an Airbus A380, a Boeing 747-8, and the first Airbus A350-1000 delivered to Lufthansa, which is expected to arrive in October.
