Singapore Airlines gets sixth A380.
Singapore Airlines has announced that they have received their sixth A380, with the new aircraft allowing the carrier to launch a second daily flight between Singapore and London, starting on September 20.
The Singapore – London route is the first in the world to be operated twice a day by the superjumbo.
The second daily A380 service will depart Singapore as flight SQ 318, and return from London as flight SQ 321.
This is in addition to the current daily service operated by SQ 322 (Singapore-London) and SQ 317 (London-Singapore).
Singapore Airlines was the first airline in the world to operate the A380.
Since its entry into service in October 2007, the aircraft has been progressively utilised on routes from Singapore with high capacity demand. Aside from London, the Airline operates daily A380 flights between Sydney and Singapore, and Tokyo and Singapore.
Following the delivery of its sixth A380, Singapore Airlines has 13 A380s remaining on firm order, and options on another six.
Emirates was the second airline to put an A380 into service and Australia’s Qantas will accept delivery of its first A380 this week, with arrival in Australia scheduled for Sunday.
