Lufthansa Plans A380 Basing in MunichFour to five aircraft are expected to return in summer 2023; their routes have not yet been decided.
- Under the summer 2023 schedule, Lufthansa plans to base four to five reactivated A380s in Munich, not Frankfurt Airport.
- According to the company, the routes these wide-body aircraft will serve had initially not yet been decided.
- Munich offers a pilot-staffing advantage, Lufthansa says; A380 maintenance infrastructure will remain in Frankfurt.
- Of 14 original A380s, Lufthansa still has eight; it cites demand and delayed Boeing deliveries for reactivation.
It won't come back to Lufthansa.— Carsten Spohr, Lufthansa CEO, in an interview with Der Spiegel (as reported)
