Hapag Lloyd Cruises luxury tour operator leases TF-FIW for selected tours since late 2018. During the first trip the aircraft was all white with "Albert Ballin" titles however when leased again in August/September and December 2019 the aircraft carried the Hapag Lloyd logo on the tail as well.
Albert Ballin was a German shipping magnate, the founder of the Hapag Lloyd and company and he is regarded as the father of modern cruise ship travel.
In fall 2022 TF-FIC was repainted all white and later gained large Albert Ballin and small Hapag Lloyd Cruises titles on the port side as was the case for TF-FIW four years prior.
