Historic Aircraft Restored at Frankfurt Airport Ahead of 100-Year Anniversary
Lufthansa has completed the restoration of two historic aircraft at its Hangar One facility near Frankfurt Airport. The Junkers Ju 52 and Lockheed L-1649A Super Star will be displayed in the airline’s new conference center, which is set to open in 2026 to coincide with Lufthansa’s 100th anniversary. According to AeroTime, the aircraft were restored by a group of aviation enthusiasts called the Quax Association, who spent four years restoring the Ju 52 to its former glory. The project reflects Lufthansa’s efforts to preserve its history and share it with customers, employees, and the general public.
