Lufthansa takes delivery of Boeing 787-9 formerly ordered by Norwegian

Original: I saw 787-9 LN1011 as it departed Portland on March 31, 2026 after being repainted from Norwegian to Lufthansa at Boeing

A Boeing 787-9 registered LN1011 departed Portland on March 31, 2026 after being repainted from Norwegian's livery into Lufthansa's colors at Boeing's PDX paint hangar. The aircraft was then flown to Malta, where Lufthansa Technik refitted the interior, before returning to Everett where it was originally built. Aviation enthusiasts are tracking the unusual journey of this former Norwegian airframe as it joins Lufthansa's fleet.

Why now: Aviation watchers find the transfer of an ex-Norwegian 787-9 into Lufthansa service, including its repaint and interior refit route, noteworthy.
