Commencing October 28, 2023, Lufthansa German Airlines returns the Airbus A380 to Bangkok, increasing capacity on the direct connection between the Thai capital and Munich, the capital of Bavaria. Due to strong demand, the BKK-MUC route will now be served on the world’s largest commercial aircraft, the A380.
With a legacy that stretches back more than 64 years connecting Thailand with Germany, Lufthansa has chosen Bangkok as the first destination in the Asia Pacific region to receive the ever-popular A380 aircraft. By reintroducing the A380 on this route, Lufthansa also brings its esteemed First Class cabin and service to Thailand.
The A380 is a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet manufactured by Airbus and as the world’s largest commercial passenger aircraft, its upper deck extends along the entire length of the fuselage. Seating arrangements include 8 First Class seats, 78 Business Class seats, 52 Premium Economy seats and 371 seats in the largest Economy Class globally.
