On Friday (September 26, 2025), Lufthansa unveiled an iconic special livery to mark their 100th anniversary in 2026.  Starting in December, a new Boeing 787-9 will proudly carry the crane, the symbol of Lufthansa’s unique identity around the world. The bespoke livery features a blue fuselage with a white crane hovering above it, its wings merging into the wings of the aircraft, creating the effect that the wings of the aircraft virtually become the wings of the crane.  Designed as a trademark by graphic designer and architect Otto Firle in 1918, the iconic crane has become Lufthansa's unmistakable distinguishing feature worldwide over the decades.  Additionally, the number 100 is 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.


In Friday’s announcement, Lufthansa Airlines’ CEO, Jens Ritter, said,

 

“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.”
