Singapore Airlines takes delivery of its third A380 in mid-March, enabling the airline to start service to London.
The first two have flown on the Singapore-Sydney route since their launch last October.
The first A380 flight to London, SQ 308, will leave Singapore’s Changi Airport on Tuesday, March 18 at 9am and arrive at Heathrow at 3.05pm the same day.
The aircraft will return to Singapore on the same day, operating as SQ 319, departing Heathrow at 6.55pm, arriving back into Singapore at 3.35hpm on Wednesday.
“The A380 will provide a capacity expansion on the popular Singapore-London route," sais SAI's executive vice president Huang Cheng Eng.
"For the first time, an aircraft larger than the B747-400 will fly this route, thereby meaning more seats without the need for more frequencies to what is already one of the world’s busiest airports.”
Seats on A380 services, including the inaugural flights, are open for sale at www.singaporeair.com - customers on the inagural flights will receive personalised certificates.
The Singapore Airlines A380 seats 471 passengers in three classes - 12 in suites, 60 in Business Class and 399 in Economy Class. (timesonline.co.uk)
