China clears Lufthansa to fly Airbus A380 to Shanghai

摘要

Lufthansa received permission from Chinese authorities to fly its 526-seat Airbus A380 on 5X-weekly Frankfurt-Shanghai Pudong service from Sept. 26. Shanghai will be its second A380 destination in China. China's opposition to the European Union Emission Trading Scheme had prevented Lufthansa from obtaining rights to operate an A380 to Shanghai, LH chairman and CEO Christoph Franz said. Ongoing negotiations with Chinese authorities have led to the allowance.
