The Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft, is set to begin regular flights to Denver International Airport (DEN) in just over three months. Lufthansa will operate the A380 daily from its Munich Airport (MUC) hub starting April 30. The aircraft, which can accommodate 509 passengers including eight first-class and 78 business-class seats, will replace the smaller Airbus A350-900 on this route.
Denver becomes Lufthansa's sixth destination for the A380 from Munich following its reintroduction in 2023 after a pandemic-related suspension. Currently, Lufthansa flies the superjumbo to Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), and Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport (IAD).
This marks a significant milestone for Denver as it welcomes regular service by the A380. Previously, Denver had only seen an A380 when an Air France flight diverted there in 2018.
