Introduced in March 2004, Lufthansa’s first A330-300 entered commercial service on the Frankfurt–Cairo–Khartoum route, marking the airline’s embrace of Airbus’s long-range, twin-engine reliability. These aircraft became pivotal for connecting Germany to destinations across the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas
The “Fanhansa – Diversity Wins” livery debuted in June 2021, commemorating Pride Month with a bold visual celebration of inclusion and equality—a vivid testament to Lufthansa’s cultural values and support for its diverse community.
Beyond its stunning design, the A330-300 is revered by enthusiasts for its uniquely engineered touchdown. Its tilted bogey main landing gear positions the aft wheels to touch down first, resulting in consistently smooth, controlled landings that have earned the type its affectionate “Butter Machine” reputation—an allure that continues to delight pilots and collectors alike.
This model brings together Lufthansa’s spirit of diversity, the aircraft’s technical elegance, and a global aviation legacy—making it a striking highlight in any serious collection.
