Marking yet another milestone in the history of Indian aviation, Lufthansa announced the launch of services by its flagship aircraft, the A380 between Delhi and Frankfurt. Delhi becomes the first city in India to welcome Lufthansa's flagship carrier and the world's largest commercial passenger jet. The launch of A380 services will be effective October 27, 2014 on the Delhi- Frankfurt route.

Mr. Wolfgang Will, Director South Asia, Lufthansa, said, "We are very pleased to announce the introduction of our flagship aircraft A380 to Delhi. The A380 is the world's largest commercial passenger jet and offers the finest in terms of flying comfort, luxury and efficiency. With the new A380, Lufthansa customers will be able to experience Lufthansa's latest in-flight products and services including the state-of-the art First Class."

The A380 is the largest and heaviest passenger aircraft in the world. It is 73 meters long, 24 meters high, and has a takeoff weight of up to 560 tons. The Lufthansa A380 seats 520 passengers and its four Rolls-Royce engines each generate 70000lbs of thrust. Ecologically speaking, too, the A380 raises the bar. The megaliner is quieter than other planes, uses less fuel and can even "think" for itself and automatically apply the brakes after landing on the runway.

The new A380 is all about a completely new dimension in flying and experiencing the best in travel proficiency. The new Lufthansa flagship is configured with 520 seats (8 in First Class, 92 in Business Class and 420 in Economy Class), offering passengers unprecedented levels of comfort.
