Beginning on 1 June 2023, Lufthansa will resume its regular flight operations with the popular Airbus A380 after a three-year interruption.

Daily flights from Munich to Boston will be operated under the flight number LH424. Just in time for Independence Day, the U.S. national holiday on 4 July, an A380 with the flight number LH410 will start taking off daily, heading for New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).

Lufthansa is thus noticeably expanding its premium offering at its southern hub, especially with additional seats in Business and First Class.

With 509 seats, the A380 has around 80 percent more capacity than the Airbus A340-600 currently flying on the Munich-New York (JFK) route. In total, the A380 offers four classes of travel: 8 seats in First Class, 78 seats in Business Class, 52 seats in Premium Economy and 371 seats in Economy Class.

Flights on the largest aircraft in the Lufthansa fleet can be booked as of 23 March 2023.

Due to the significant increase in demand for airline tickets and the delayed delivery of ordered aircraft, Lufthansa had decided in 2022 to reactivate the Airbus A380, which is particularly popular with passengers and crews.

By the end of 2023, a total of four A380 aircraft will again be stationed in Munich.

The Airbus A380 is a large wide-body airliner that was developed and produced by Airbus. It is the world’s largest passenger airliner and only full-length double-deck jet airliner.

Deutsche Lufthansa AG, commonly shortened to Lufthansa, is the flag carrier of Germany. When combined with its subsidiaries, it is the second-largest airline in Europe in terms of passengers carried.

Lufthansa is one of the five founding members of Star Alliance, the world’s largest airline alliance, formed in 1997.
