Lufthansa is operating an Airbus A380 to Denver for the first time, from its Munich hub. It is also a premiere for Denver, the third largest airport in the US, as it is the first time it has received an aircraft of this size. Denver is Munich Airport’s sister airport, a decades-long partnership based on the close economic and cultural ties between Bavaria and Colorado. Lufthansa has eight Airbus A380s based at its Munich hub.
