Etihad Airways resumed its Airbus A380 flights between Abu Dhabi and New York's JFK Airport in April 2024. This route is now the fifth-longest quadjet service globally, excluding Emirates-operated flights, and ranks 17th when including Emirates. The longest A380 flight not operated by Emirates is Qantas' Sydney-Singapore-London Heathrow route. For non-stop routes, Qantas' Melbourne-Los Angeles flight takes the top spot.
Emirates remains a dominant force in discussions about the Airbus A380 due to its large fleet and extensive network of routes. However, other airlines such as All Nippon, Asiana, British Airways, Etihad, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Qantas, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines also operate significant A380 services.
Qantas appears three times on the list of longest non-Emirates A380 routes from July to December 2024. Its Kangaroo service is noted as the longest globally when combining one-stop and non-stop flights. If only non-stops are considered, Qantas would feature three times with its Singapore-London leg included.
