Lufthansa deploys Airbus A380 to increase capacity on flights to Thailand

Lufthansa deploys Airbus A380 to increase capacity on flights to Thailand

Lufthansa Group is expanding its passenger capacity on its Bangkok to Frankfurt route by using the world's largest aircraft, the Airbus A380.

It is the only European carrier operating the A380 to Thailand. 
The airline said the expanded service targets both Thai customers and international visitors to Thailand seeking a unique flying experience on long-haul flights to and from Europe. 
Stefan Molnar, Lufthansa Group’s general manager for Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam and the Mekong Region, said: "Lufthansa remains highly committed and confident about Thailand. It is a very important market for us. Last year we welcomed 800.000 passengers on flights to and from Thailand. We are certain outbound travel from Thailand will sustain good growth.” Currently, Lufthansa Group serves Thailand with four airlines: Austrian, Swiss, Eurowings and Lufthansa. Together they offer customers 31 weekly flights between Thailand and some of the most important cities in Europe: Frankfurt, Vienna, Zurich and Munich that has the only European five-star airport.

In First Class, the seat can be converted into a 2-metre-long bed with a comfortable mattress and a temperature-regulating duvet.
Lufthansa initially increased capacity by going from the Boeing 747-400 to the Airbus A380 during the 2017-18 winter schedule. This is the third season Lufthansa is operating an A380 on the Frankfurt-Bangkok route. 
The airline said first class offers passengers exclusivity and privacy with only eight seats and premium features. The A380 business class offers 78 lie-flat seats stretching across the aircraft’s entire upper deck and unique inflight entertainment.
