The German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD) landed at the beginning of the week with an Airbus A350-900 in readiness for flight at the US airport Grand Rapids. Local spotters captured the event on video.

The member of the government let himself be flown across the pond with the 10 + 03 (formerly: D-AGAF). This machine is named Kurt Schumacher and is 1,4 years old. This Airbus A350-900 was originally delivered to Lufthansa, but immediately afterwards passed on to flight readiness.
