It served them well for 48 years but on Monday, at a ceremony held in Hamburg after special flight LH9922 arrived from Frankfurt, German carrier Lufthansa officially said goodbye to its fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft.
Since taking delivery of the first Boeing 737-100 in 1968, Lufthansa has had a total of 148 B737s of various generations in its fleet. But the carrier says it will now offer continental service with a fleet of around 150 planes from the Airbus A320 family, including four new-generation A320neo aircraft.
