With the D-AIML, Lufthansa transferred another Airbus A380 to the Log Time Storage in Teruel on Wednesday. In Frankfurt am Main, only the D-AIHM and the D-AIMM remain, which are initially held as reserve aircraft.
The remaining members of the A380 sub-fleet have meanwhile been flown to so-called Long Time Storage. The return to Lufthansa is uncertain, because CEO Carsten Spohr has repeatedly stated that he considers a comeback of the super jumbos to be "very unlikely". However, the manager has not ruled it out entirely.
Lufthansa has a total of 14 Airbus A380s. Two are in Frankfurt am Main, two in Tarbes and the rest in Teuel. The average age of the superjumbos is only 9,3 years, which is significantly lower than that of the A321-100 sub-fleet. This is over 25 years. The Airbus A330s are also older, around 13 years old.
