Starting in the summer of 2020, Lufthansa will add two Airbus A380 aircraft to fly from Munich. In this way, the Munich A380 fleet will increase to seven, and the remaining seven will be stationed in Frankfurt. Soon, the world's largest commercial aircraft, the Airbus A380, will fly five Munich-origin routes, including two new destinations for the A380. Lufthansa will fly to Boston for the first time on the A380, and the A380 will fly to San Francisco for the whole year. In addition to these routes, Los Angeles, Beijing and Shanghai also appeared on the A380 flight schedule for Munich in the summer of 2020.
Harry Hohmeister, member of the Lufthansa Executive Committee, said: "Since March last year, the A380 has been flying smoothly to Munich. A few weeks ago, we welcomed the first million passengers on the A380 in Munich. Our customers And the crew are very fond of the flight experience of the A380. The A380 is the flagship aircraft of the fleet and is very suitable for our five-star hub Munich Airport. We will continue to develop, quality and cost."
Currently, Lufthansa's Airbus A380 is flying from Munich to Los Angeles, Beijing and Hong Kong. According to the upcoming 2019/2020 winter flight schedule, the Airbus A380 will fly to San Francisco, Miami and Hong Kong (until December 2019) and Shanghai (as of January 2020) flights.
Lufthansa said that the Airbus A380 has been Lufthansa's flagship aircraft since 2010, with a total of 14 aircraft. By the summer of 2020, seven will be stationed in Munich and seven will be stationed in Frankfurt. The Airbus A380 is the world's largest commercial aircraft, 24 meters high and nearly 73 meters long. Due to the high proportion of composite materials, the A380 is 15 tons lighter than similar long-haul aircraft and has a 50% lower noise. In addition, the A380 enters and exits the airport at the same speed as the A320. All of these features help to reduce aircraft noise in the area around the airport.
Compared to the previous generation of aircraft, the A380's fuel consumption is 33% lower, and CO2 emissions are correspondingly lower.
