The two sides of the fuselage of this aircraft displays photos and memories from Lufthansa's past and share stories of LH employees over the years, as part of the "Made by many. Remembered by all” initiative. A jury selected the 20 best stories, from which all employees were then able to choose the 12 winning entries which are to be added to the plane graduelly over the year. Next to each design on the aircraft there is a QR code that leads to a landing page with all the stories.

AA unveiled a new retrojet in late 2025 as it prepared to celebrate its centennial; the iconic orange lightning bolt motif makes its reappearance after first debuting nearly 90 years before on the Douglas DC-3. American named this aircraft “Flagship DFW” as an homage to the airline’s home and largest hub as well as a nod to the tradition to name its DC-3 after cities served by the airline it had back in the day.

Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-speaking Finnish illustrator and writer Tove Jansson. They have appeared on Finnair planes several times through the 1990s and 2000s as part of promotionnal campaigns and were a logical addition to the centennial celebrations of the airline. Main characters Moomintroll and Snorkmaiden could be seen sharing a hug aft of the plane on these two A350s.

Qantas Time Capsule Towards 2120

In late 2019 Qantas unveiled a special livery in anticipation of its 100th anniversary celebrations. The red wave is accompanied by the evolution of the Qantas logo over the course of time. QANTAS, for Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services, was founded in Queensland on November 20, 1920. This airframe was delivered to Qantas via London and it performed one of three ultra-long-haul route proving flights, linking London Heathrow to Sydney in a bit more than 19 hours with 39 passengers onboard. The flight mirrored the one performed by the airline's very first 747-400 VH-OJA thirty years earlier (see here the "We Go Further" entry).

Avianca celebrated 100 years on December 5, 2019. This retrojet was unveiled in late September 2019 and flew its first revenue flight in this livery from Bogota to Barranquilla, which saw the airline's very first flight in 1919 under the name of Scadta. The retro livery used is very similar to the one seen on a 757 and a MD-80 in the early 2000s on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the airline.
