On July 26, 1926—just six months after the founding of German Lufthansa Airlines—two three-engine Junkers G24 aircraft took off from Berlin, Germany, and arrived in Beijing on August 30, covering a total distance of 10,000 kilometers. Eighty-eight years ago, the visionary team at Lufthansa foresaw China’s immense potential and, overcoming various technical and geographical challenges, creatively completed this pioneering journey to China.
