Starting in April you may see a GIANT plane hanging out at Denver International Airport. 

It’s actually the world’s largest passenger aircraft, and it’s part of the Lufthansa Airlines fleet. The Airbus A380 will soon start flying between Denver International Airport (DIA) and Germany.

Lufthansa said it will operate daily service between Denver and Munich aboard an Airbus A380 from April 30 to Sept. 30.

The Airbus A380 seats 509 total passengers; Eight in first class, 78 in business class, 52 in premium economy and 371 seats in economy.

This is the first time a regularly scheduled flight on the Airbus A380 will operate at DIA, according to Lufthansa.
