Lufthansa will recreate its inaugural 1926 flights from Berlin on Easter Monday, April 6, 2026, marking the airline’s 100th anniversary. Two special flights depart simultaneously at approximately 3:00 p.m. from Berlin Brandenburg Airport: flight LH1926 on a Boeing 787-9 to Zurich, and LH2026 on an Airbus A350-900 to Cologne.
The routes symbolically follow the original paths, passing over historic waypoints such as Halle, Erfurt, and Stuttgart for the Zurich flight, and Magdeburg for the Cologne route, without intermediate stops. Both aircraft feature a special blue livery with a white XXL crane.
Earlier that day, the planes arrive in Berlin from Lufthansa hubs: a Boeing 787-9 from Frankfurt (LH342) and an Airbus A350-900 from Munich (LH2572), carrying over 400 invited passengers including employees, partners, influencers, and journalists. A ceremony at Berlin Brandenburg Airport expects more than 600 guests, drawing aviation enthusiasts to the event and destinations.
In 1926, the original Luft Hansa flights from Berlin-Tempelhof carried few passengers on these routes. Tickets for the 2026 flights start at 299 euros in economy and 399 euros in business class, featuring the new Allegris cabin on board.
