Lufthansa working on 2011 plans for the A380, expects to operate in North Atlantic

Lufthansa stated it has no plans to deploy the A380 beyond its initial three destinations of Tokyo, Beijing and Johannesburg in 2010, but is assessing further possible A380 destinations for 2011 and beyond (Reuters, 23-May-2010). The carrier is due to take delivery of four A380s this year, with all 15 on order to be integrated into its fleet by 2015.
