Lufthansa Group at ILA Berlin 2026: Anniversary Aircraft and Lufthansa Technik Defense

• Lufthansa A320neo in special 100th-anniversary livery
• Lufthansa Technik Defense showcases its portfolio in Hall D
• Focus on current projects for the German Armed Forces and NATO partners

The Lufthansa Group will have a dual presence at this year’s International Aerospace Exhibition (ILA) in Berlin: with its Airbus A320neo at the Airbus Static Display in Lufthansa’s special 100th founding anniversary livery, and with the Lufthansa Technik Defense exhibition booth.

The Lufthansa A320neo, registered D-AING, is part of the anniversary fleet commemorating the founding of the first Lufthansa 100 years ago. The aircraft, featuring the iconic Lufthansa crane in XXL format on a blue fuselage, represents more than a century of aviation history and the continuous modernization of the Lufthansa Group fleet.

At ILA 2026, the Lufthansa Group will place a particular focus on Lufthansa Technik Defense. Since 2023, Lufthansa Technik has brought together its defense activities for the German Armed Forces and its NATO partners under this brand. The company is involved in various military modernization and procurement programs, including the P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare aircraft, the PEGASUS signals intelligence system, and the CH-47 Chinook heavy-lift transport helicopter. In addition, Lufthansa Technik Defense, together with Lockheed Martin, Rheinmetall, and ESG, provides technical support for Germany’s future F-35 fleet.

At its 144-square-meter exhibition stand, Lufthansa Technik Defense will showcase these programs as well as additional capabilities in the maintenance, repair, overhaul, and modification of military aircraft.
