A380 Airbus for Japan Travellers
In a related story, Air France has unveiled plans to start using the A380 superjumbo for her Paris-Tokyo Narita route as from September 2010 but with full and regular flight as from October. This will most probably be a reaction to one of her European rival – Germany’s Lufthansa’s official launch of the same superjumbo flight next Friday on this same route. If this should be successful then Lufthansa would be the first European airline to use the A380 for a Tokyo route.
According to Air France this will takeoff three times a week and this would be on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
