Lufthansa has chosen the Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos to present for the first time the world’s largest aircraft, the B747-8, the Queen of the Skies, as the company considers Greece as a major European market, declaring its intention to further strengthen the Greek-German ties.
According to capital.gr, the plane’s debut will be on June 18. It is the largest aircraft ever produced by Boeing and the longest passenger aircraft in the world now in production.
This aircraft is brand new and will reach the Athens International Airport for its first – inaugural – landing before the beginning of its regular flights, completing the existing fleet of B747-8 aircrafts that have been already launched by Lufthansa on long routes.
