The German carrier will run flights with its Airbus A340-600, considered to be the world’s largest airplane, with a passenger capacity of 306. A total 238 economy class, 60 business class and eight first class seats will be available for between $1,000 and $11,000.
The airline also plans to offer connections between Colombia and other Latin American countries such as Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador.
Lufthansa decided to restart the Colombia-Germany route because of the growth of Bogota as a business and finance capital in Latin America.
The airline announced it planned to reopen the trans-Atlantic flight, following approval by Colombian civil aviation authorities.
Lufthansa first began operating in Colombia in 1967.
