The "Flying home for Christmas" tour takes off in Munich

With the motto "Flying home for Christmas", the airberlin Christmas aircraft is taking off once again. This year the Boeing 737-800 with the registration Mike Juliette has a 2.54 metre high and 4.2 metre wide Santa Claus made of photos from nearly 2,000 airberlin fans and employees who uploaded their images to the airline’s Facebook page. “It’s really exciting to be here for the premiere of this year’s Christmas aircraft,” said Christine Jung. The 48-year-old from Großaitingen put the last star on the skin of the aircraft herself in the hangar in Munich.

Christine is also one of the elves who help the airberlin Santa Claus on board the Christmas plane and provide Christmas spirit during the Santa Claus Tour 2012. She applied at facebook.com/airberlin and won the job with her open manner and delight in bringing a smile to others. The airberlin Christmas aircraft will be making the rounds through the airline’s European route network until the start of January.
