Sick bags, share registers and a crane: How did Lufthansa become a legend?
Sick bags with instructions, the very first handwritten share register and a crane that grew into an icon: in the opening episode of season 2 of Above and Beyond, we step into the beating heart of Lufthansa – its archive. Archivist Luisa Schürmann and her predecessor Carola Kapitza unlock the airline’s treasure chest – from quirky attic finds and 1950s inflight tableware to adventurous pioneering flights – showing how the crane has shaped aviation and why some memories remain very much alive at Lufthansa today. Joining them is Lufthansa CEO Jens Ritter, who shares why history matters for the future – and why openness to innovation must complement Lufthansa’s rich tradition. Tune in for a journey brimming with anecdotes, artefacts and passion for the dream of flight. (AI-assisted)
