The shortest Airbus A380 routes scheduled for 2025 involve flights operated by Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, both based in South Korea. Emirates, another major operator of the A380, has also conducted one-off short-haul flights with the aircraft.
The Airbus A380 is known for its long-range capabilities, typically serving high-density long-haul routes. However, it is also used on some shorter routes under 1,000 miles. Notably, airlines such as Qantas and British Airways use their A380s exclusively for long-haul services, while others like Korean Air and Asiana deploy them on shorter journeys.
Asiana Airlines continues to operate a fleet of six Airbus A380s. In May 2025, it is scheduled to fly these aircraft from Seoul-Incheon to Tokyo-Narita International Airport and Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport. These flights cover distances of approximately 784 miles and 906 miles respectively.
