To keep up the memory of these iconic aircraft,
the Deutsche Lufthansa Berlin-Stiftung purchased three Lockheed Starliner in 2007.

The following year, work began in the US state of Maine to make one of them airworthy again.

Now Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr answered a question to the cost at the Group’s General Meeting on Tuesday (May, 5):
«The total cost of the project from 2007 to 2019, after we have stopped the project and brought the aircraft back to Bremen, is 150 million euros.»
A large part of this, however, had been borne by external donors and sponsors.

Spohr explained that the restoration to an airworthy state had proved too complicated and costly.
In the future, the plane is to be exhibited. Where and with what concept, he said, would be announced at a later date.
