In 1992, Lufthansa purchased six Boeing 737-430 aircraft, including the D-ABKK “Weimar”, the original of this model. Between 1994 and 1995, all six machines were operated for the German air service Lufthansa Express to counter the threat of upcoming low-cost carriers á la Ryanair and Easyjet. The plane will be released as a limited edition of 1,800 models, and completes the Lufthansa passenger jet series in the Herpa Collection.
