Lufthansa charter subsidiary Condor Flugdienst is celebrating its 40th birthday with a light-hearted new look for one of its Boeing 757s, courtesy of well-known US artist James Rizzi and Lufthansa Technik's Hamburg paint shop. The aircraft, christened the "Rizzi Bird", has provoked mixed reactions. Condor officials at the 28 March roll-out believe that the bright design will please passengers and raise the carrier's public profile, while at least one Lufthansa executive believes that Condor could have done better. Rizzi's commission remains undisclosed.
