Lufthansa to move five A380s from Frankfurt to Munich

Lufthansa will transfer five of 14 Airbus A380s from its Frankfurt home base to Munich starting from summer 2018. The A380s will be used on long-haul destinations from the Bavaria state capital to Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Beijing. As a result, Lufthansa said up to 500 new positions will be staffed in Bavaria. This is the first time Lufthansa has based its A380s outside Frankfurt. “With the A380 we can offer our Munich customers a premium aircraft at a 5-star hub,” a Lufthansa official said. Lufthansa said it is showing a “clear sign for continued growth in Bavaria and over the next two years, the Lufthansa long-haul fleet in Munich will be receiving two more aircraft.” <br/>
