Commencing October 28, 2023, Lufthansa German
Airlines returns the 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.
Back by Popular Demand
According to Anlee Do, General Manager Thailand,
Vietnam, Philippines & the Mekong region, Lufthansa Group:
“We are increasing capacity between Thailand and
Germany due to strong demand and are delighted to offer Thai passengers direct
service to Munich aboard the ever-popular A380. We are the only airline
group operating the A380 non-stop between Thailand and Europe and this
signifies our strong commitment to the Thai market”.
With existing connections by Lufthansa Group
carriers Swiss International Air Lines and Austrian Airlines, LH773 increases
the capacity between Thailand and Europe, whereby 21 weekly flights are
offered, giving passengers direct connections to the major European cities of
