Lufthansa, one of the world's largest and prestigious airlines, has announced that it will be launching A380 service to its third Asian destination Singapore with the winter timetable becoming effective from October 30, 2011. The airline will be operating a daily A380 service on its Frankfurt-Singapore route. The inaugural flight LH778 will depart Frankfurt at 10.05 pm for Singapore.

The airline also said that it will shift its service to Jakarta (via Singapore) from Frankfurt to Munich on October 30, 2011. Airbus A340-300 will be operated on the route.
