Lufthansa German Airlines has returned the Airbus A380 to Bangkok, increasing capacity on direct services between the Thai capital and Munich, the capital of Bavaria.

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, according to Lufthansa Group General Manager Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines and the Mekong region, Anlee Do.

He said by reintroducing the A380 on this route, Lufthansa also brings its esteemed First Class cabin and service to Thailand.

Lufthansa’s Airbus A380s have 8 First Class seats, 78 Business Class seats, 52 Premium Economy seats and 371 seats in the largest Economy Class globally.

“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,” Do said.

“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”.

He said 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 Zurich, Vienna and Munich.
