Lufthansa's first longest non-stop flight with scientist passengers arrives safely in the Falklands.
While global epidemics such as the coronavirus have radically changed lifestyles around the world, there are also many exciting and long-haul flight experiences that would not have been expected so quickly under normal circumstances.
Various airlines are innovating to protect air passengers from infectious diseases and are also setting records for the longest flights.
In such a situation, Lufthansa Air also contributed to the Antarctic expedition and set a record for the longest non-stop flight of more than 15 hours and 37 minutes to the Falkland Islands.
Lufthansa Airlines Flight LH2574 took off from Hamburg Airport on January 31 at 9:23 pm local time in Germany.
The flight reached the Falkland Islands after a continuous journey of 15 hours and 37 minutes. It landed at Mount Pleasant Airport at 9:01 a.m. local time and 5:01 p.m. Pakistani time.
Flight Radar 24 has issued a message of happiness, calling Flight LH2574 the longest flight of Lufthansa Airlines.
According to the website, a group of Antarctic scientists has made the longest flight of Lufthansa Airlines to Mount Pleasant Airport safe from epidemics, so Lufthansa has taken extraordinary steps for this special trip.
According to aviation sources, Lufthansa used the new Airbus 350 serial number 390 for the flight, which made its maiden flight a year ago in January 2020. The plane arrived at Hamburg a day earlier after all preparations at Frankfurt Airport in Germany.
The plane was also loaded with catering, vacuum cleaners and cleaning equipment for long-haul long-haul flights, and the services of the Mount Airport Administration have been restricted.
According to the airline, because of the corona virus, Falkland Islands crew members will not be allowed to board the plane, so the Lufthansa crew will make all the arrangements themselves before returning.
Staff will be stationed at Hamburg Airport, where they will use the unused area of the terminal to avoid interaction with other passengers, using contactless boarding at the airport.
Business class passengers will use the special bed already provided. The plane will return to Munich Airport, Germany on February 4 at around 2.40 pm.
