Lufthansa to operate latest Boeing 747-8 aircraft from India

New Delhi: German carrier Lufthansa would operate the latest Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet between Delhi and Frankfurt from next month and from Bengaluru later this year, the airline said today.
Fitted with new Business Class product, the new aircraft would be the second being inducted by the Lufthansa in its fleet, after it deployed the first one on the Frankfurt- Washington route only last month, an airline spokesperson said.
The Boeing 747-8 aircraft, which would start flying on the Frankfurt-Delhi sector from August six, would replace the B 747-400s currently operating on this route.
"Since the beginning of June, Lufthansa's first B 747-8 has been deployed on the Frankfurt-Washington route. The aircraft which will serve the Frankfurt–Delhi route is the second B 747-8 to join our fleet and its delivery was taken a few days ago," she said.
