The role of Boeing 727 in Lufthansa operations is explained. Lufthansa ordered the first Boeing 727 in 1961, which had a cruise velocity of 900 kph and could land on short runways. During thirty years, 61 Europa Jets from several generations flew for Lufthansa and showed high safety and reliability performances; nine quick change versions were bought so that the transformation in 25 minutes from a passenger aircraft to a cargo aircraft was possible. From the beginning, Boeing 727 was regarded by the passengers as the most comfortable civil aircraft. In 1992 Autumn the last Boeing 727 are replaced by A-320 aircraft, whose specific consumption and loading on environment are lower. It is noticed that Lufthansa Boeing 727 carried 60 million passengers 500 million km.
