The planes featured in this video aren't rarities. On the contrary! They're the backbone of DHL's operations at their European hub at Leipzig/Halle airport (LEJ/EDDP).

The one you see landing in the video is D-AEAL, an Airbus A300 which is operated by EAT Leipzig (QY/BCS), a subsidiary company of Deutsche Post/DHL, running DHL's own operations at Leipzig/Halle airport. Their fleet consists - apart from a few Boeing 757s - of A300s, most of wich started out life as airliners and have been converted to freighters.
This is also the case with the A300 featured in the video. First flown in 1992, it was in service with Japan Air System (JD/JAS) and Japan Airlines (JL/JAL) before being converted and becoming part of the fleet of EAT Leipzig in 2012.

The plane seen taking off in the video is D-AALR, a Boeing 777F, representing its owner AeroLogic (3S/BOX), a joint-venture of DHL and Lufthansa Cargo and LEJ's 'home carrier'. In contrast to the A300 it was purpose built as a freighter and with a first flight in March this year (2021), it's one of the latest members of AeroLogic's fleet.

Both aircraft are using LEJ's runway 26L in the video.
