The German carrier's A-380 services would begin from October 27 between Frankfurt and Delhi, with the aircraft being configured to carry 520 passengers in three classes -- eight in First Class, 92 in Business Class and 420 in Economy.
Currently, Singapore Airlines and Emirates operate A-380 in India from Mumbai and Delhi airports. Singapore Airlines introduced superjumbo flights in May this year while Emirates began its first A-380 service in July.
"The A-380 is the world's largest commercial passenger jet and offers the finest in terms of flying comfort, luxury and efficiency. With the new A-380, Lufthansa customers will be able to experience Lufthansa's latest in-flight products and services including the state-of-the art First Class," the airline's Director South Asia Wolfgang Will said here.
The largest and the heaviest passenger aircraft A-380 is 73 metres long and has a take-off weight of 560 tons. It is powered by four Rolls-Royce engines, but is known to be a "quite" plane, using less fuel.

Will said the passengers would have access to the latest in-flight products like the luxurious comfort in First Class, a sophisticated new business class with full flat-beds and a "comfort-enhanced" Economy Class with more legroom and wider seats.
Government had in January decided to allow the operations of the A-380s. At present, only four airports - Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore - have the infrastructure needed to handle the flights of the gigantic aircraft.
