The Lufthansa Group has launched a new brand identity designed to highlight its growing role as an integrated airline group and unify its customer-facing services under a stronger, more recognizable corporate brand.
The redesign, unveiled Thursday, marks a major strategic shift for the aviation giant as it aims to present itself not simply as a collection of airlines but as a cohesive global group operating across multiple aviation and travel sectors.
“The Lufthansa Group is evolving from a group of airlines into an integrated airline group,” said Dieter Vranckx, Chief Commercial Officer of Lufthansa Group. “The new brand identity is therefore more than just a redesign; it is a strategic milestone."
“In a challenging environment, this step creates a visual anchor of trust for our customers,” he added. “A visual identity in aviation must do much more than just create an eye-catching appearance. It will reflect our strategic brand values and a promise we want to make to our passengers across all our brands. The new brand identity enables a holistic brand experience, provides orientation, and strengthens identification with the Lufthansa Group.”
The refreshed identity features a streamlined version of the group’s iconic crane logo, which will be used without its traditional surrounding circle. The redesign also includes a new typeface and an expanded color palette of six additional tones, meant to represent varying heights from ground to sky—symbolizing the diversity of the Group’s services and operations.
Member airlines will retain their individual branding, but will prominently carry the endorsement “Member of Lufthansa Group.” This label has already appeared on digital boarding passes, airline websites, and 160 aircraft across the Group. It will soon be displayed at lounge entrances globally and integrated into airport materials such as baggage tags and on-board signage.
By 2026, the updated group branding will be visible at all Lufthansa Group lounge entrances worldwide, following early rollouts in Rome, Milan, and Brussels. The goal, the company said, is to help customers more easily navigate service offerings across the group’s numerous carriers and business units.
The Lufthansa Group is currently the world’s fourth-largest airline group in both revenue and fleet size. The conglomerate oversees five national airlines, several leisure-focused private airlines, Lufthansa Cargo, Lufthansa Technik, and more than 300 subsidiaries and affiliated companies.
