dailyblitz.de 2 hours ago

SINGAPORE- One of the world’s best carriers, Singapore Airlines (SQ), has released its Airbus A380 schedules for the Northern Winter 2025-26 season, operating from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) to up to seven international destinations.

Four cities receive year-round A380 service: London Heathrow (LHR), Sydney (SYD), Delhi (DEL), and Mumbai (BOM). Meanwhile, Auckland (AKL), Frankfurt (FRA), and Shanghai (PVG) benefit from seasonal or partial A380 deployments.

According to Mainly Miles, the airline’s superjumbo network is rebuilding steadily but remains short of its pre-pandemic levels.

Singapore Airlines A380 Routes

During the Northern Winter 2025/26 season (October 2025 – March 2026), Singapore Airlines will operate 112 weekly A380 flights, an improvement from 98 weekly services in summer 2025 but still below the 126 flights recorded in January 2024.
