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.
