Airbus A330-300 - LTU
The former German holiday airline LTU was founded in 1955 as Lufttransport Union, soon renamed as Lufttransport-Unternehmen. The first widebody aircraft in LTU's fleet was the Lockheed TriStar, which started serving the airline in 1973.
The TriStars were replaced by Boeing 767-300ERs and McDonnell Douglas MD-11s and in 1994 the first of a total of eightteen Airbus A330 aircraft joined the fleet. The airline flew a mix of ten A330-200s and eight -300s. The A330-300s came first, between 1994 and 1998. The -200s were delivered from 2001.
LTU was taken over by Air Berlin in 2007 and the A330s were transferred to the new parent airline.
The photograph shows a LTU A330-300 approaching LTU's homebase Düsseldorf International Airport, still in the old LTU-livery. In 2008 Air Berlin dropped the LTU-brand.
