Germany: Lufthansa First Flight (LH 5640/5641) Frankfurt a. M., Germany <-> Figari (Corsika), France

Lufthansa subsidiary Air Dolomiti expanded its route network and lauched a new connection for the summer season 2025. It started to fly between Frankfurt and Figari on Corsica. From May 17, 2025, Air Dolomiti operated the route once a week with an Embraer E190. I'm happy to show two nice covers that document both the first flight from Frankfurt to Figari and the first flight back from Figari to Frankfurt.

Germany: Kiel Week 2025

The Kiel Week 2025 took place from June 21 to June 29, 2025, under the shared motto “WIR-Woche” (“WE Week”). The event featured numerous sailing competitions, including the Windjammer parade with over 100 ships. Beyond sailing, the Kieler Woche offered a diverse program with concerts, international markets, an Ocean Funpark, and various family-friendly activities. The German Navy and its partners once again opened their ships to the public during “Open Ship” days at the Kiel Naval Base. I'm happy to receive two covers from the Kiel Week with special postmark and Kiel Week-Stickers.
