The first delivered Airbus is this serial number 8 of the A330/340 series, and was delivered to Lufthansa on 29 January 1993. It was given the city name Nürnberg, the first of seven A340-211s for Lufthansa. Entry into service of this aircraft was on 1 March 1993 between Frankfurt (FRA) and Athens (ATH). After over five years in service, a big change came on 18 March 1998 - Nürnberg got the Star Alliance colour scheme - and the aircraft became very popular by the photographer community. Now follow almost five new year of service by Lufthansa, but on 13 January 2003 it had its last flight for Lufthansa. The same day it was shipped to Hamburg (HAM) for repaint into South African Airways (SAA) colours. SAA will lease this aircraft until all the new A340-300E/A340-600 are delivered.
