Flygplan Hapag-Lloyd Flug Boeing 737-200 - D-AHLI

Boeing had hit the bulls eye with the development of the short-haul 737-100/200 into the 737-200B Advanced, because the -200B now had the range to fly non-stop from northern Europe to the Canaries, Madeira, or Egypt, for example.

It was also better than Hapags old Boeing 727, for example, with which the airline had started operations in 1972 50 years ago.

The new twinjets proceeded to replace the 727 by the end of the 1980s. Hapag-Lloyd later formed the fundament for todays TUI fly.

Registration/Kennung: D-AHLI
