The FC Bayern Airbus will be sporting its new design for the first time when it sets off on a twelve-day journey across Asia for the “Audi Summer Tour 2017”. The journey to Shanghai, Shenzhen and Singapore have been chosen to mark the updating of the old FC Bayern livery. As well as the FC Bayern logo, a total of ten players have been depicted on the aircraft’s fuselage: Joshua Kimmich, Franck Ribéry, Thomas Müller, Javi Martínez and Arjen Robben, and, shown in sporting action: Robert Lewandowski, David Alaba, Manuel Neuer, Thiago and Mats Hummels. The Lufthansa Airbus A340-600, bearing the registration D-AIHZ, will be in service for flights from Munich for a further year in this new design, flying to four different continents.
Lufthansa has been the official carrier of FC Bayern since 2004. As well as its long-standing collaboration with FC Bayern, the airline also has partnership agreements with the German Football Association (DFB) and is involved with numerous other popular sports. In addition to this, the airline supports the German Sports Aid Foundation as a national sponsor, and has also been a partner of the German Olympic Sports Association (DOSB) for many years. This traditionally includes the transportation of the German teams to the Olympic Games and also to the Paralympics, as a partner of the German Disabled Sports Association (DBS).
