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)
