On April 6, 2026 — exactly 100 years after Deutsche Luft Hansa's first flights from Berlin on April 6, 1926 — Lufthansa will mark its centenary on Easter Monday with a programme of special anniversary and commemorative flights to celebrate the airline's 100th year.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The centenary is the culmination of Lufthansa's broader centennial programme, including a planned Anniversary Fleet and global events — see the airline's earlier centenary programme and Anniversary Fleet.
  • The public celebrations occur alongside the carrier's decision to publicly address its historical ties to the Nazi era, a notable governance and reputational development for the company (company acknowledgment of Nazi-era links).
  • The anniversary reinforces recent brand and fleet initiatives — including additions to the heritage fleet and the launch of Project FOX cabin upgrades — that shape how Lufthansa presents its product during the centenary year (heritage fleet expansion and Project FOX).
