Airbus Updates No.3725


A380 to return at Lufthansa?

German aviation news site aero.de is reporting that Lufthansa is considering reactivating the A380 to cope with a higher than anticipated demand for flights. According to the site, the airline is thinking of reactivating either eight A380s (six in service, two as back-up) or four (three in service, one as back-up). A final decision has not been taken.

However, Lufthansa might decide on a whole different approach to cope with the increased demand as Boeing has approached the airline if they would be interested in taking on four to six white-tailed B777-300ERs. A white-tail is an aircraft produced for a customer but of which the deal fell through.

Today, Lufthansa is not operating any passenger B777s and its fourteen A380s are stored at Tarbes-Lourdes and Teruel.
