This partnership was launched on May 12, 1965 and is now a striking symbol for Lübeck's attachment to aviation. An Airbus A340-600 from Lufthansa, which bears the proud name "Lübeck", is an important element of this tradition. According to ln online, the aircraft is the sixth of the aircraft Model that has this name and has performed remarkable services since its commissioning in 2004.

The Airbus has already flown 94 different travel destinations and transported over 2.3 million passengers to around 9,300 flights. In particular during Corona pandemic, the aircraft was temporarily stationed in northern Spain.
