Lufthansa starts the celebrations for its 100th anniversary with a special livery for a new Boeing 787-9 aircraft.

The carrier says the first 747-8i will be handed over to a confidential buyer in January 2026 as part of its fleet renewal plan.

The German airline will mark 100 years in business in 2026.

The superjumbo jet will return to this city next summer.
