Ten airlines currently operate the Airbus A380, including All Nippon, Asiana, British Airways, Emirates, Etihad, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Qantas, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines. Over the coming months until next August, these carriers will fly over 90 routes with an average distance of 3,606 nautical miles (6,678 km). Among them, Qantas operates the longest route while Asiana has the shortest.
Qantas' Sydney-London Heathrow via Singapore service is recognized as the world's longest one-stop A380 flight. Meanwhile, Emirates' Dubai-Auckland route holds the title for the longest nonstop flight operated by an A380. This information aligns with current expectations in aviation.
Etihad's upcoming new A380 route may not enter the top 10 list according to their Chief Commercial Officer. When considering all nonstop flights on any aircraft type globally, Dubai-Auckland ranks eighth for nonstop services behind routes such as Singapore-New York JFK and Doha-Auckland.
