Lufthansa’s new colour scheme

In an age of instant news it is difficult to keep things under wraps, especially when it is Boeing 747-8.

Images of a new Lufthansa livery have surfaced online, days before the expected official unveiling at an event the airline is hosting on 7 February.  All will be revealed at that time but BTN has learnt that it might take seven years to repaint the whole fleet.  It is assumed that the former Air Berlin aircraft will have priority.  With Air Berlin, Lufthansa has around 300 aircraft.

While the stylised bird remains in place, its yellow surround has disappeared.  In another shift from the previous design, the tail's dark blue paint job extends over the fuselage. The word "Lufthansa" on the forward fuselage looks to be largely unchanged.

Two aircraft (a B747 & a A321) will go on a tour around Europe and Germany operating regular flights with the new livery for all to see.
