Lufthansa’s seventh A380 has entered into service as scheduled. The aircraft (registration DAIMG, Mike Golf), which was ferried to Frankfurt from the Airbus plant at Hamburg – Finkenwerder last weekend, will further increase Lufthansa’s capacity, a spokesman for the company said.

As from last Tuesday, it is now 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 be welcoming 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 and the airline expects to take delivery of the eighth aircraft of this type next month, remarked the spokes­man.

Another two A380s will be delivered next year. The airline has ordered a total of 15 Airbus A380s. (Source: Lufthansa)
