Lufthansa Unveils Century-Old Aircraft at Frankfurt Airport
Lufthansa has completed the assembly of two historic aircraft, a Junkers Ju 52 and Lockheed L-1649A Super Star, at its Hangar One facility near Frankfurt Airport. The aircraft will be on display at the airline’s new conference and visitor center, which is set to open in 2026 to coincide with Lufthansa’s 100th anniversary. The Ju 52, originally designed in 1930, was a pioneering aircraft that played a significant role in Lufthansa’s operations, while the Super Star, introduced in 1957, represented the golden age of luxury air travel. The Hangar One facility, built next to the Lufthansa Aviation Center, serves multiple purposes and will be available for external events. The opening of the visitor center marks a significant milestone in Lufthansa’s history and will provide a unique experience for customers, employees, and aviation enthusiasts.
