Aalens Flying Ambassador: History of Boeing 737 and A319

On September 10, 1992, the city of Aalen received a flying ambassador-a Boeing 737-500, baptized by Mayor Ulrich Pfeifle. On this solemn day in Frankfurt, the aircraft was baptized in the name "Aalen". The OB then proudly reported on the strengths of the city, while his wife Margret threw the champagne bottle against the plane and wanted a good flight. In its time, the Boeing used 2500 liters of kerosene per hour and was able to promote about 100 passengers.

After almost 20 years, on October 11, 2011, the D-ABJF was scraped into a spare parts supplier and finally. But the "Aalen" baptismal name continues: Since then, an Airbus A319, which joined the Lufthansa fleet in February 2010, has been wearing this name. With the identification D-AIBB, he has already completed around 36,500 flight hours and promoted over 2.6 million passengers. The Airbus is mainly used on inner -German routes as well as Warsaw, Amsterdam and Nice.
