Summary: Lufthansa, Emirates and Lufthansa again. LAX remains one of the few airports where spotting two wide-body quad-jets taxiing at once is routine.

## Article

A sight that has become rare at almost any airport in the world. At **LAX**, a **Lufthansa Boeing 747** bound for Frankfurt and a parked **Emirates A380** shared the taxiways, alongside another A380 that had just arrived from Munich and a **777-300ER** in the same area. [Preferente has the video](https://www.preferente.com/videos/espectacular-vista-de-un-a380-y-un-boeing-747-compartiendo-calles-de-rodaje-351548.html) and confirms the scene with footage from this month.

LAX is one of the few hubs where that parade is still routine. Emirates keeps its A380 fleet active on several routes, and Lufthansa retains the 747-8 as a centrepiece of its long-haul network out of Frankfurt. Outside of that, the list of airports with simultaneous quad-jet movements has been shrinking year after year.

My read for industry professionals: this kind of image has become a product argument, not an anecdote. Anyone selling connections through LAX, Frankfurt or Munich can use it with enthusiasts and premium profiles. The window is finite, and whoever works it now gets more out of it.
