Lufthansa has announced it will resume direct flights to Thailand with the world's largest passenger plane on Sunday. The decision to deploy the Airbus A380 on the Bangkok-Munich route from October 29 came in response to tremendous demand, particularly during the winter high season, said the German flag carrier’s regional manager Anlee Do. Nicknamed Superjumbo, the A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jetliner with a capacity of 509 passengers. The standard cabin layout features eight seats in first class, 78 in business, 52 in premium economy, and 371 in economy. Lufthansa is the only airline operating the A380 nonstop between Thailand and Europe, said Do. She added that travel demand for Thailand is consistent and strong thanks to its location as a gateway to Southeast Asia. KYTOP, tm_nyc, fedssocr and 1 other 4 Quote
PeterRS Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 That will add another A380 at BKK to join those from Qatar and Emirates. By dropping its first class and not including a premium economy cabin, one Emirates daily flight has a capacity of 615 passengers. I wonder if we will ever again see a sight I saw on arrival at HKG a few years ago with 3 A380s in adjacent bays. vinapu 1 Quote
