[1600px] Always a joy to see A340s these days - as they have become much of a rarity around the world. Perhaps more of a rarity is the -600 variant with the extended fuselage, so it was very welcome news when Lufthansa announced the -600's placement onto their Frankfurt - Hong Kong service from early 2023. D-AIHZ, named "Leipzig", is seen here being loaded up on stand N28, before flying back to Germany as LH797.
