DENVER — On April 30, 2025, at around 1:45 p.m., a Lufthansa flight from Munich touched down at Denver International Airport.
But this wasn’t just some ordinary international flight. No, it was the world's largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380, that graced the skies above the Mile High City before touching down at DIA.
It was the first time DIA welcomed a regularly scheduled A380 and marked the beginning of a new, seasonal route for Lufthansa. (BTW ... The first and only operation of an Airbus A380 at DEN occurred in November 2018, when an An Air France A380 diverted to Denver due to a medical emergency.)

The daily flight will operate from Munich to Denver through September 24, requiring two gates out of Concourse A.
Lufthansa’s A380 is configured with 509 seats, which represents a capacity increase of nearly 75% over the 293-seat Airbus A350-900 currently scheduled to operate on the route.
Many Colorado photographers in Discover Colorado | Through Your Photos shared the following images of Wednesday’s landing of the A380:
