The Airbus A380, flown by ten airlines, operates at 61 airports across 35 countries. Among these, Dubai is a significant hub due to Emirates' fleet and British Airways' seasonal service, accounting for 64% of the A380 flights.

According to Cirium Diio data, some airports have three or more airlines operating the A380. London Heathrow and Los Angeles have the highest number of operators. However, London Heathrow will surpass Los Angeles between April and August when Korean Air suspends its A380 flights to Los Angeles until September.

Airports with six operators include London Heathrow (British Airways, Emirates, Etihad, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines) and Los Angeles (Asiana, British Airways, Emirates, Korean Air [operating through March], Lufthansa, Qantas). Airports with five operators are Singapore (British Airways, Emirates, Etihad [starting February 2025], Qantas, Singapore Airlines), Sydney (Asiana, Emirates, Qantas, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines), and Tokyo Narita (All Nippon [February only], Asiana [May only], Emirates).
