Lufthansa launching A380 service to Singapore

When the winter timetable goes into effect from October 30, Lufthansa will operate a daily A380 service on its Frankfurt-Singapore route.

One of the eight A380s in the Lufthansa fleet will take off from Frankfurt at 10.05 p.m. under flight number LH 778 bound for Singapore.

On the same day, Lufthansa will also transfer its service to Jakarta via Singapore from Frankfurt to Munich.

The route will be operated with an Airbus A340-300. Passengers arriving in Singapore on the A380 flight from Frankfurt will have plenty of time to transfer to the onward flight to Indonesia, said a company spokesman.

The A380 can accommodate 526 passengers in comfort – eight in First Class, 98 in Business Class and 420 in Economy class. Meanwhile, Lufthansa’s flagship has scored top marks in terms of technology, ecological efficiency and sustainability.

With a fuel burn of only 3.4 litres per 100 passenger-kilometres, the A380 is about 30 per cent quieter than previous wide-bodied jets. (Source: Luthansa)
