Was just reading an internal piece regarding the Lufthansa-Air Livery deal.
All the adhesive transfers are still produced in Hamburg, and then shipped to MAN in advance of an aircraft arriving, and whilst the aircraft is on for paint, a member of LH Technik are based at Air Livery and oversee the project.
Apparently, Lufthansa are working with Air Livery to make the MAN hangar 'A380 ready'. Whilst they do not need to be repainted yet, they are looking ahead to the time when they will need such work.
Seems the deal is a permanent one!
