The Airbus A380 continues to capture the attention of both travelers and aviation enthusiasts, despite its challenges in sales. London Heathrow remains a key hub for the double-decker aircraft, with three airlines operating flights between there and Singapore Changi Airport.

Cirium's data reveals that airlines worldwide have scheduled 88,729 A380 flights this year, offering 45,070,247 seats. The most frequent route is Dubai-Heathrow with 2,279 outbound and 2,278 inbound flights. The London-Singapore corridor ranks third with 1,189 outbound and 1,190 inbound flights scheduled for 2025.

Singapore Airlines leads on this route with 1,346 flights planned for the year. "Singapore Airlines operates almost twice as many A380 rotations on the route as second-placed Qantas," according to current scheduling data from Cirium. Qantas follows with a consistent schedule of one daily flight each way throughout the year. British Airways rounds out the trio but will cease operations on June 1st after completing their schedule of 303 flights.

The configuration of each airline's A380 offers different experiences for passengers. Singapore Airlines' aircraft accommodate up to 471 passengers across four classes: first class suites, business class flatbeds, premium economy recliners, and economy seats. In contrast, Qantas' configuration allows for up to 485 passengers but differs in layout positioning first class on the lower deck.

British Airways has a unique premium-heavy setup accommodating up to 469 passengers across three classes per deck. This includes first class suites at the front of the lower deck and Club World split across both decks.

Despite a reduction in A380 usage compared to last year due to operational changes by one carrier mid-year, these airlines continue to offer substantial capacity between London Heathrow and Singapore Changi Airport.
