Lufthansa said goodbye to the gigantic Airbus A380, perhaps for the last time. The last of 14 aircraft took off from Frankfurt.
On September 14, the aircraft departed Lufthansa‘s stronghold on what was presumably its last trip.
D-AIMH
D-AIMH took off from Frankfurt Airport at 9:30 a.m., as previously stated. The plane took off from Frankfurt’s Runway 18 and flew south via Germany and Switzerland before crossing into French territory and landing in Spanish airspace. According to data from RadarBox.com, the plane started its descent into Teruel after cruising at 39,000 feet. It landed approximately two hours after taking off.
