Delivered to Lufthansa in May-97, this aircraft was 'damp leased' to Algerian start-up Khalifa Airways in Jul-01 until they ceased trading in Mar-03 when it was returned to Lufthansa. In Apr-04 it was leased to Germanwings in their full livery and returned to Lufthansa in Jan-07. It continues in service (as of Dec-13). A 'damp lease' (as opposed to a 'wet' or 'dry lease') is where the aircraft is still operated by the lessor (i.e. Lufthansa operating crew and still registered in Germany) but is in the full livery of the lessee airline and using their cabin staff.
