Lufthansa Inaugurates Munich-Bangalore Service…
Lufthansa flight LH764 departed Munich at 1213 local time yesterday and landed into Bangalore at 0046 local time this morning.
The flight was operated by D-AIVA, one of the airline’s Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
As per data from Planespotters.net, D-AIVA is a 5.3 year old airframe which first started out life with Philippine Airlines back in July 2018.
In November 2021, the aircraft was returned to SMBC Aviation Capital following a long storage stint in Abu Dhabi before being delivered to Lufthansa in April 2022.
Of the A350-900 variant, the German airline has 21 of them, of which 20 are in active service and one is currently parked.
