An Airbus A350-900 named 'Kurt Schumacher' that, in summer 2020, became the world's first head-of-state A350 — rushed into service with an interim cabin. Operated by the German Air Force's Flugbereitschaft, it's one of three A350s that now carry the German Chancellor and President on long-haul missions.
