Asiana Airlines has announced an extension of its Airbus A380 flight schedule on the route between Seoul Incheon International Airport and Sydney Kingsford International Airport, Australia. According to aviation analytics company Cirium, the South Korean airline will now operate its A380 flights until February 2026, extending the schedule by two additional months beyond the initially planned end date of December 31, 2025.
Cirium's data indicates that Asiana Airlines will maintain daily flights on this route using its highest-capacity aircraft. The airline currently operates six A380s with an average age of 10.2 years. These aircraft can accommodate a total of 495 passengers in a three-class cabin layout: 12 in first class, 66 in business class, and 417 in economy class. Looking ahead, Asiana Airlines and Korean Air combined will have a total of 13 A380 quadjets.
Between May and October 2025, Asiana plans to use its Boeing 777-200LR widebody aircraft for the route. These planes can seat up to 300 passengers in a two-class configuration: 22 in business class and 278 in economy class. Starting March 2026, Asiana will switch to using its newer Airbus A350-900 widebodies on this corridor.
