Lufthansa makes seasonal network changes for Munich-based A380s

Lufthansa—which plans to transfer 5 of 14 Airbus A380s from its Frankfurt home base to Munich from March 25, 2018—has announced seasonal network changes. The A380s will be used on long-haul destinations from the Bavaria state capital in southern Germany to Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Beijing throughout the summer season. During the winter, A380 destinations will connect Munich with Miami, Shanghai Pudong (China) and San Francisco. As a result, Lufthansa said up to 500 new positions will be staffed in Bavaria. “During the current 2017-18 winter schedule, Lufthansa has 120 aircraft based in Munich, including 25 widebodies,” a spokesperson said. Six of these 25 long-haul aircraft are Airbus A350-900s, which replaces the carrier’s A340-600s. <br/>
