With D-AIHE “Leverkusen”, a new official release joins the Aviationtag x Lufthansa Collection: a real piece of Lufthansa Airbus A340-600 history.

Delivered to Lufthansa in January 2004, this four-engine long-haul aircraft became part of the airline’s intercontinental fleet for many years. In the final stage of its career, D-AIHE already wore Lufthansa’s new livery before its active service came to an end in 2020.

What makes this aircraft especially remarkable: D-AIHE was not only a passenger aircraft, but also part of the IAGOS-CARIBIC research programme. Between 2004 and March 2020, it completed around 500 measurement flights for climate and atmospheric research. While passengers crossed continents, scientific equipment on board collected valuable data at cruising altitude.

The Airbus A340-642 with MSN 540 was parked in Teruel in 2020 and recycled in 2025. From original material of this aircraft, we have created a strictly limited Aviationtag edition – officially licensed by Lufthansa and made for collectors, Lufthansa fans and true AvGeeks.

Secure your piece of D-AIHE “Leverkusen” now – as a keychain, luggage tag or collectible with genuine Lufthansa A340-600 history.
