Lufthansa Completes Inaugural 747-8I Flight

German carrier Lufthansa, the first airline to take delivery of a next generation Boeing 747-8I, has today completed its inaugural flight of the new aircraft between Frankfurt and Washington D.C.

The flight LH7478 was scheduled to depart Frankfurt at 9.50am and touchdown in Washington D.C. at around 12.45pm.

In addition to lucky passengers the new plane carried VIPs connected with Lufthansa and Boeing.

Great to see these new planes in service (finally!)
