Fanhansa: which planes?

Post by phkza »

Coulnd't find this on the board, so maybe somebody knows:

Lufthansa applied 'Fanhansa' logo's to several a/c before the World Cup. Boeing 747-8 D-ABYI is keeping its titles until the European Champhionship in 2016, but the others will quickly return to regular Lufthansa titles.

As far as I can see, Fanhansa titles have been applied to the following a/c:

D-ABVS (B744)
D-ABVK (B744)
D-ABYI (B748)
D-ABYO (B748)
D-AIHQ (A346)
D-AUID (A320)
D-AIDG (A321)

There should be another one. But which one?

This morning the local radiostation near FRA, Radio FFH, reported that all these aircraft will wear the Fanhansa titles for the coming two years.
By the way, it's A320 D-AIUD instead of D-AUID.

Radio FFHs website states the following:

Insgesamt acht Maschinen behalten auch in den nächsten zwei Jahren ihre WM-Lackierung
(Total 8 aircraft will keep their Worldchampionship-colours also during the next two years).


Edit: the above apparently is a mixup with the D-ABYI, which carries additional Siegerflieger (Winnerflyer) titles. These titles will remain on for two years, but the other 7 will lose their Fanhansa titles the coming weeks.

See here: Our Siegerflieger made such an incredible splash. We’re still getting mails, tweets and Facebook messages every day, so we’ve decided that the Siegerflieger will continue flying until the 2016 European Football Championship
and
The Fanhansa label will be removed from the remaining seven aircraft over the coming weeks.

Sorry for the confusion! :wink:
