Next summer, Lufthansa will commence flights to Denver with the Airbus A380, marking a significant milestone for both the airline and the airport. This development makes Denver the sixth destination served by Lufthansa's A380 aircraft. The inaugural flight is scheduled for April 30, 2025.

The service will operate daily from Munich to Denver, departing at 11:15 am under flight number LH480 and arriving in Denver at 1:45 pm local time. The return journey leaves Denver at 4:15 pm, landing back in Munich at 10:50 am the next day.

Heiko Reitz, CCO of Lufthansa Airlines, commented on this new service stating, "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."

This summer season will see eight Airbus A380s stationed at Lufthansa's Munich hub serving destinations including New York (JFK), Boston, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Delhi, and now Denver. Each A380 has a seating capacity of 509 passengers across First Class (8 seats), Business Class (78 seats), Premium Economy (52 seats), and Economy (371 seats).

Denver provides an appealing option for travelers as it serves as a gateway to activities in the Rocky Mountains. Additionally, through United Airlines' hub in Denver—a Star Alliance partner—passengers can connect to over 170 destinations such as Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Honolulu.

Lufthansa has maintained non-stop flights from Munich to Denver for nine years and from Frankfurt for 25 years. In summer 2025, four daily flights will be available—two originating from Munich and two from Frankfurt.
