For over 30 years now, Airbus’s A320 has been a core element of Lufthansa’s fleet, serving destinations throughout Europe, including the province of Asturias in northern Spain. Currently, the airport is served by the German airline in the summer months by the A320 and A321 from Frankfurt and Munich. It’s a fairly overlooked route to a fairly overlooked part of Spain.
