Commencing October 28, 2023, Lufthansa German Airlines returns the A380 to Bangkok, increasing capacity on the direct connection between the Thai capital and Munich, the capital of Bavaria.   Due to strong demand, the BKK-MUC route will now be served on the world’s largest commercial aircraft, the A380.
