‘The Airbus A380 service to Denver is not only a first for Lufthansa, but also for the airport itself. It is the first time that a scheduled flight with an aircraft of this size will land there. Passengers, airport visitors and crews love the A380, the flying experience and the feeling of space. At the same time, the A380 offers more premium seats than any other aircraft,’ said Heiko Reitz, CCO Lufthansa Airlines.
By summer 2025, eight Airbus A380s will be based at Munich International Airport, with the United States and India as its regular markets. The airline will offer 3,563 seats a week on each route per leg, which it will provide with this schedule:
