As I had warned in my previous post regarding the debut of Lufthansa’s retro 747-8i and the fact that changes to the timetable were possible, well change has happened.
Originally the Retro 747, D-ABYT, was to debut on Thursday, April 16 between Frankfurt and Chicago. However the timeline for her introduction has been moved up to today, April 15.
D-ABYT is now scheduled to fly between Frankfurt and New York’s JFK as Lufthansa Flight LH404, departing FRA at 5:10p local time. It will return as flight LH405, departing JFK at 9:55p.
D-ABYT enters service, scheduled to fly to New York’s JFK
At this point I don’t there’s much chance for any more changes to the plan….hopefully.

Lufthansa’s retro 747-8i, soon to be dubbed ‘Cologne’, enters service on April 16 when she departs from Frankfurt and heads for Chicago.
D-ABYT, or ‘Yankee Tango’ will be operating on flight LH430 from Frankfurt and LH431 from Chicago.
D-ABYT prepares for her first ever flight, a B1 test flight at Paine Field.
As always, last minute changes can happen to aircraft assignments, so I’ll provide an update if that changes.
‘YT’ was delivered to Lufthansa on March 25 and was set to be introduced to the public at an event in Frankfurt tomorrow celebrating LH’s 60th Anniversary. However, due to the Germanwings tragedy, the event was cancelled for obvious reasons.
If you’re any bit of an ‘Avgeek’, come back to the website on Monday for some interesting, once in a lifetime content from March 25th……..
Come back Monday for the ‘Rest Of The Story’
