Lufthansa expands Airbus A380 network with new Denver flights

This summer, Lufthansa plans to operate eight Airbus A380s. Data indicates that seven are currently active, with one undergoing maintenance in Manila. All these aircraft are deployed from Munich. Five out of six planned destinations for the summer season are located in the US; Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport is also included.

With more A380s reactivated, Lufthansa aims to increase its total weekly flights using this model from 18 last June to 42 by June this year. New additions include routes to Denver and Delhi with daily flights.

Cirium's data reveals that in June, Lufthansa's A380s will complete 12 round-trip itineraries each day compared to April when they operated eight weekday flights and nine on Sundays.

Lufthansa's third-quarter report highlighted delays in widebody deliveries leading them to extend their current fleet's service life. The carrier reactivated its sixth A380 last July and was preparing two more for operation during that period.

The airline maintains a reduced schedule for January but plans daily flights to Bangkok and Delhi with increased activity expected as March brings additional routes like Los Angeles International Airport into play.

Before COVID-19 disrupted operations globally, Lufthansa flew its double-deckers both from Frankfurt and Munich airports offering up till seventy weekly departures across various international destinations including Miami or Singapore back then as well.
