The 83 year old Junkers Ju-52 of the Lufthansa Berlin Stiftung is forced to retire. The historic aircraft, with the unofficial registration D-AQUI, has been flying around since 1986, but is never expected to fly again.

After a complex restoration earlier this year it was decided not to invest any more money in the maintenance of the three-engined aircraft.

Junkers Ju-52/3mg8e D-CDLH (D-AQUI) was maidened in 1936 after production at the Junkers works in Dessau. Initially employed by Lufthansa, she then spent almost 20 years alternately in Germany and Norway. It was to be decommissioned in Norway in 1955. Too big for a museum in Oslo, it was sold to South America and flew in Ecuador from 1957 to 1963. Then the end threatened. On the outskirts of Quito airport, exposed to wind and weather, she fell into oblivion until an American flight enthusiast redeemed her in 1969. Later “Aunt Ju” was to be admired as “Iron Annie” at air shows across the USA before Lufthansa acquired her in 1984 and restored her at great expense.

Over the years around 250,000 passengers have experienced a journey back in time to the beginnings of passenger flight. Since 1986, the icon of aviation has traveled a total of around 11,500 flying hours. The Junkers Ju-52, stood in a hangar in Munich, but is now transported by road to Hamburg. The Ju-52 will not fly anymore at all and in fact Lufthansa Berlin Stiftung is already laying off their flight operations staff. So also no further flights without passengers anymore. The aircraft will be grounded permanently.
