Lufthansa is bringing back the A380 superjumbo

Another A380 will be added to Lufthansa’s fleet from the storage facility. All of the photographs bardehle/vidicom in the post were shared by one Twitter user.

Aircraft seats have a plastic cover over them, making them appear undamaged and dust-proof. Activating once more, the Lufthansa registered D-AIMK will depart from Teruel Airport for FRA tomorrow.

The storage personnel is taking off the duct tape covering the interior and body of the aircraft, which appears to give the super jumbo full confidence to enter the services. Airlines are seeking for new fleets as air traffic grows, and some are using their wide-body aircraft in storage, such as the A380.
