Revival of Airbus A380
Another Lufthansa double-decker Airbus A380 has left storage in Spain and is making its way back to the German carrier. On Wednesday, November 15th, D-AIMH took a flight for its journey home.
This aircraft, inactive since September 2021, has been under the care of Tarmac Aerosave, an aircraft storage facility situated at Teruel Airport (TEV) in the Teruel Province in Eastern Spain, for nearly two years.
Taking off on Wednesday, November 15th, from Plataforma Aeroportuaria-Teruel, commonly known as Teruel Airport, the aircraft was initially anticipated to head for Germany by noon. However, it commenced its pushback at 13:08, a bit later than the scheduled noon departure.
The journey, spanning two hours and 15 minutes toward Frankfurt, unfolded smoothly. The flight path took it over the South of France, Monaco, Milan, east of Zurich, into German airspace, passing over Stuttgart and executing a sharp left turn before descending into Frankfurt, concluding with a westward landing.
Throughout most of the journey, the aircraft maintained an altitude of 40,000ft. Despite the delayed departure from Teruel, the aircraft landed at the Lufthansa hub at 15:24, slightly less than an hour behind its initially scheduled arrival time of 14:36, as per Flightradar data.
Lufthansa currently operates four superjumbos: D-AIMK, D-AIML, D-AIMM, and D-AIMN. The return of D-AIMH marks the fifth reintegration into the carrier’s fleet, all slated to be based at Munich Franz Josef Strauss Airport (MUC) to support a robust summer schedule.
