Seventh A380 enters into service with Lufthansa

5/11/2011 9:48:00 AM

Lufthansa’s seventh A380 enters into service as scheduled. The aircraft (registration D-AIMG, “Mike Golf”), which was ferried to Frankfurt from the Airbus plant at Hamburg-Finkenwerder last weekend, will further increase Lufthansa’s capacity.   From 10 May, it is deployed daily on the Frankfurt – San Francisco route. A total of seven A380s will now take off daily for five destinations. Lufthansa flight attendants will therefore welcome passengers aboard an A380 70 times per week – on the airline’s routes between Frankfurt and Johannesburg, New York, Beijing, Tokyo and also San Francisco. Each week, almost 37,000 passengers will have an opportunity to fly on a Lufthansa A380. Lufthansa expects to take delivery of the eighth aircraft of this type next month. Another two A380s will be delivered in 2012. The airline has ordered a total of 15 Airbus A380s.   Air Transport News
