Historical Background

Since spring 2025, the German football club Borussia Dortmund (BVB) has used this specially branded Eurowings Airbus A320 “Mannschaftsairbus” (Team Airbus) to travel to away matches across Europe.

This aircraft continues a long-standing partnership between Eurowings and BVB. The first dedicated team aircraft debuted in 2016, gaining widespread attention not only among football fans but also within the aviation community for its bold design.

In 2022, Eurowings went a step further by launching a “Fan Airbus”, becoming the first airline to involve supporters directly in the aircraft’s design. Fans were able to vote on which iconic moments and personalities from Borussia Dortmund’s history would appear on the aircraft.

The latest 2025 Mannschaftsairbus builds on this legacy with an even more striking appearance. The full-length “BVB09” lettering in matte finish creates a powerful visual identity, turning the aircraft into a flying symbol of the club across European airports.

Beyond transporting the team, the aircraft also operates regular passenger services, making it a familiar and celebrated sight for both aviation enthusiasts and football supporters.
