More Capacity: Lufthansa Deploys Airbus A380 to Denver

Next summer, Lufthansa will fly to Denver (USA) for the first time with the world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380. This makes the capital of Colorado the 6th destination for the A380. The first flight is on 30 April 2025.

The service operates daily from Munich to the airport at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. The A380 takes off at 11:15am under flight number LH480 and lands in Denver at 1:45pm. The return flight departs at 4:15pm and lands in Munich at 10:50am the following day. All times are local.

‘The Airbus A380 service to Denver is not only a first for Lufthansa, but also for the airport itself. It is the first time that a scheduled flight with an aircraft of this size will land there. Passengers, airport visitors and crews love the A380, the flying experience and the feeling of space. At the same time, the A380 offers more premium seats than any other aircraft,’ says Heiko Reitz, CCO Lufthansa Airlines.

This summer, a total of 8 Airbus A380s, each with 509 seats, will be based at Lufthansa's Munich hub. The destinations are New York (JFK), Boston, Washington, Los Angeles, Delhi and Denver. The A380 offers eight seats in First Class, 78 seats in Business Class, 52 seats in Premium Economy and 371 seats in Economy.

With Denver, Lufthansa offers its passengers an attractive destination. The North American metropolis is the starting point for activities in the Rocky Mountains and an eldorado for sports and nature enthusiasts. Via the Denver hub of Star Alliance partner United Airlines, Lufthansa passengers can also reach another 170 destinations, including Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Honolulu.

Lufthansa has been flying non-stop from Munich to Denver for 9 years and from Frankfurt for 25 years. In summer 2025, a total of 4 daily flights will be offered – 2 from Munich and 2 from Frankfurt.
