PrintThe history of the German carrier started on the 6th of January 1926. On this very day the “Deutsche Luft Hansa AG“ was founded by merging “Junkers Luftverkehr AG“ and “Deutschen Aero Lloyd AG“.
On the 1st of May 1926 Lufthansa was the first passenger airline in history to fly at night. Guided by bonfires, the airplane securely found its way from Berlin to Königsberg. The travel time to Moscow was reduced to an impressive 15 hours.
The jet era began with the introduction of the Boeing 707 in 1960. 10 years later the 747 – the Jumbo-Jet – is also part of the Lufthansa fleet. Today the Lufthansa fleet consists of 373 airplanes.
