On 25 March 2012, Korean Air introduced the Airbus A380 aircraft on the Seoul-Frankfurt route. The Korean operator operates an A380 configured in 3 classes and with a capacity of 407 seats, the smallest number encountered in A380 aircraft operated so far.
The aircraft benefits from all modern facilities and technologies. First Class are 12 luxury apartments, Business Class are 94 places, and the rest are Economy Class. Korean Air currently operates five A380 aircraft for major destinations such as New York, Los Angeles and Hong Kong.
Returning to the inaugural race Seoul - Frankfurt, below are images from the "baptism" of the A380 aircraft at Frankfurt Airport.
Each plane, which inaugurates a flight or when operating the first official flight, is named at the destination!
