Singapore Airlines receives third A380

Singapore Airlines took delivery of its third A380, the world’s largest passenger plane, at the Airbus Delivery Centre in Toulouse, France, at noon yesterday (11 March – Toulouse time). After a delivery flight, the aircraft is expected to arrive in Singapore on Wednesday 12 March around 1010 hrs.

With the addition of this third aircraft into its fleet, Singapore Airlines will commence A380 flights to London Heathrow airport on Tuesday 18 March 2008.  This will be the first-ever A380 commercial service to Europe.

Fitted with the luxurious Singapore Airlines Suites, the award-winning 4-abreast Business Class and a new, more comfortable Economy cabin, the A380 allows Singapore Airlines customers to travel to London in unprecedented comfort, space and luxury. 

Scheduled daily services to London (SQ322) will commence from the evening of Tuesday 18 March, and on SQ 317 for the return leg from 19 March.  Singapore Airlines currently operates daily A380 scheduled flights between Singapore and Sydney.

Singapore Airlines is the first to fly the A380, and currently the only airline in the world operating the aircraft. The Airline has firm orders for a further 16 A380s and options on six more.
