Boeing 747-8

Almost 50 years ago since Lufthansa penned the purchase contract for its first four B707 jet aircraft, and was a launch costumer for a 737 in 1965 and today the airline and Boeing signed another ground-breaking agreement: As launch customer, Lufthansa has placed orders for twenty Boeing 747-8 passenger jets. Lufthansa will be the world’s first airline to begin services with this new wide-body 747-8I. Watch this new Lufthansa 747-8 rollout and take it to the skies. The livery is not fully painted yet because some testing will be held with this aircraft. Lufthansa is planned to start service with 747-8 in early 2012. ©Deutsche Lufthansa Aktiengesellschaft.
