Historical Background

The Airbus A350-900 is one of the most advanced long-haul aircraft in service today, designed by Airbus to deliver exceptional fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and enhanced passenger comfort. Its lightweight composite airframe, advanced aerodynamics and Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines make it a flagship aircraft for global intercontinental operations.

This particular aircraft, D-AIXL, carries Lufthansa’s “100 Jahre” (100 Years) special livery introduced in 2026 to commemorate the founding of the original Lufthansa in 1926. The design pays tribute to the airline’s iconic crane logo, first created by graphic designer Otto Firle in 1918, which has become one of the most recognisable symbols in aviation. The centenary livery integrates the crane into the flowing wing design of the aircraft, visually representing the connection between Lufthansa’s heritage and its modern fleet. It is part of a wider anniversary fleet that highlights key aircraft types across Lufthansa’s long-haul operations.
