Lufthansa schedules final Airbus A340‑600 flights for 18 Oct 2026

Lufthansa has filed a schedule that keeps its Airbus A340‑600 in service until 18 Oct 2026, with the last scheduled flights operating from Frankfurt to New York (JFK) and Frankfurt to Washington (IAD).

The airline’s decision follows a delay of the original October 2025 retirement, caused by delivery delays of new aircraft such as the Boeing 787, and the aircraft’s last C‑Check was completed in April 2025. The A340‑600 carries 281 seats, including eight first‑class seats, 56 business‑class seats with fully reclining beds, 28 premium‑economy seats and 189 economy seats.
