Major carriers operate the longest Airbus A380 flights worldwide

Between April and December, the aviation industry sees over 110 scheduled routes operated by the Airbus A380 globally. Among these, the ten longest flights are linked to three key carriers: Emirates, Qantas, and Qatar Airways. The route from Sydney-Singapore-London Heathrow claims the top spot overall; however, Dubai-Auckland stands out as the longest nonstop operation. Interestingly, April also featured the shortest A380 flight globally.

The first delivery of the Airbus A380, a widebody aircraft manufactured by Airbus, was in October 2007 to launch customer Singapore Airlines. Currently, airlines such as All Nippon, Asiana, British Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Korean Air, Lufthansa, Qantas, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines continue to operate this double-decker aircraft. Global Airlines is expected to initiate operations in May, proposing a round-trip charter service from Glasgow and Manchester to New York JFK. Nonetheless, it should be noted that Global Airlines does not hold an airline license and functions under a travel agency charter arrangement with Hi Fly Malta.

Qantas, having previously flown the A380 to Dallas between 2014 and 2020, will reestablish this route in August. It will depart New South Wales at 12:10 and reach Dallas at 12:30 local time, returning at 22:40.
