Airlines are falling in love again with the Airbus A380. Here's everywhere the world's largest passenger jet is set to fly this winter. --[Reported by Umva mag]

Dubai's airline is by far the world's largest operator of the A380. Emirates has 118, 27 of which are in storage or maintenance, per Ch-aviation data.

That means three in every five of the world's active A380s are operated by Emirates.

Other Middle Eastern airlines are luxurious, but Emirates' Airbus A380 is perhaps the most opulent. In business class, you can visit the bar or even book a shower.

Emirates' plethora of planes comes with a similarly broad route map. Brace yourself for an extensive list.

Emirates flies the A380 between Dubai and Amman, Jordan; Amsterdam; Auckland, New Zealand; Bangkok; Barcelona; Bengaluru, India; Birmingham, England; Brisbane, Australia; Cairo; Casablanca, Morocco; Denpasar, Indonesia; Düsseldorf, Germany; Frankfurt, Germany; Glasgow, Scotland; Hong Kong; Houston; Istanbul; Jeddah, Saudi Arabia; Johannesburg; Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; London Gatwick; London Heathrow; Los Angeles; Madrid; Manchester, England; Melbourne, Australia; Milan; Moscow; Mumbai, India; New York; Nice, France; Osaka, Japan; Paris; Perth, Australia; Mauritius; Rome; San Francisco; São Paulo; Seoul; Singapore; Sydney; Taipei, Taiwan; Tokyo Narita; Toronto; Vienna; Washington, DC; and Zurich.

Emirates also serves Christchurch, New Zealand via Sydney as a fifth-freedom flight. Plus, flights on the superjumbo are available direct between Milan and New York, or between Bangkok and Hong Kong.

The launch customer of the superjumbo jet has the second-most A380s, but the airline actually operates fewer of these models than the third-place carrier.

According to data from Ch-aviation, Singapore Airlines has a fleet of 13. Four of these A380s are on maintenance, and another is in storage.

Singapore Airlines is one of just 10 airlines in the world to receive a five-star rating from Skytrax.

Skytrax named Singapore Airlines' business class the world's second-best behind Qatar Airways. The airline offers enormous suites on its A380s, which have both an armchair and a bed. Two of these can also be uniquely combined to create a double bed.

Singapore flies the A380 between Singapore Changi Airport and Delhi, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London Heathrow, Mumbai, and Sydney.

British Airways has 12 Airbus A380s, and all but two are active.

Skytrax ranked the airline's business class 15th this year. In March, BA launched a $9 billion "transformation program," which includes retrofitting its A380s with an upgraded first class and is expected to debut next year.

"The A380 is an important part of our fleet and rightfully, incredibly popular with our customers," Neil Chernoff, BA's chief planning and strategy officer, told Business Insider in March.

Behind Emirates, BA offers the second-highest number of destinations — half of which are in the US.

BA flies the A380 between London Heathrow and Dubai, Johannesburg, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, and Singapore.

During the summer, it offered more destinations, including Washington Dulles and Boston, though there were no flights to Dubai.

Qatar Airways cleaned up at this year's Skytrax awards, winning both best airline and best business class.

Like Emirates, the airline's A380 includes a bar for business-class passengers. It also has huge bathrooms — but no showers.

The A380s also aren't equipped with its flagship business-class product, QSuite, which you'll find on the A350 and Boeing 777 and 787.

Following delays to the Boeing 777X, Qatar reversed plans to retire the A380.

Its former CEO, Akbar Al-Bakar, said in 2021 that buying the planes was a "big mistake," given their high operating costs.

However, on the sidelines of July's Farnborough Airshow, Qatar's new CEO, Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said the quad-engine is getting a second life.

"His Excellency, maybe he gave this comment years ago based on the situation of the industry, but today it's different," he said, referring to Al-Bakar.

Qatar has 10 A380s, but two are in storage.

The airline operates the A380 between Doha and Bangkok, London Heathrow, Perth, and Sydney.

Qantas has 10 A380s. Two are in storage and another is being serviced, per Ch-aviation.

The airline's A380s fly from Sydney to Johannesburg, Los Angeles, and Singapore, with some continuing to London Heathrow.

Plus, the A380 is sometimes used instead of the Boeing 787 on flights QF93 and QF94 from Melbourne to Los Angeles.

From August 2025, Qantas also plans to operate the superjumbo between Sydney and Dallas.

A severe storm warning and "incredibly high" demand during Taylor Swift's Australian tour in February saw Qantas use a standby A380 to fly Swifties from Melbourne to Sydney.

Abu Dhabi-based Etihad is the third most prominent operator in the Middle East but is often overshadowed by Emirates and Qatar. That's the case with its A380 fleet, too.

The airline has 10 A380s, four of which are in storage — but that's down from five in preparation for its route to Paris starting November 1.

Etihad's A380s are unique as they offer the most extravagant ticket in commercial aviation: The Residence.

For $24,000, you can book the only three-room suite on an airliner, complete with a bedroom and shower.

Etihad flies its A380s from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow, Mumbai, Paris, and New York JFK.

From February 1, 2025, it will also fly to Singapore.

Korean Air is one of four airlines on this list, and 10 around the world, to be rated five stars by Skytrax.

The airline has nine A380s, but four are in storage, Ch-aviation data indicated.

Korean Air's superjumbo jets go from Incheon International Airport in Seoul to Los Angeles, New York, and Taipei.

But four-engined jets are falling out of favor with Korean. In 2021, CEO Walter Cho told FlightGlobal that its A380s would be retired by 2026 and its Boeing 747s by 2031.

The German flag carrier is the second European operator of the A380. Lufthansa has eight A380s, six of which are active.

The airline appears to prefer the only other double-decker passenger jet. Lufthansa has 26 Boeing 747 jets — the most of any passenger airline, according to Ch-aviation data

Lufthansa initially retired all 14 of its A380s during the pandemic before changing its mind as travel demand bounced back. The other six were sold back to Airbus, Airways Magazine reported in 2023.

Lufthansa's A380s go between Munich and Bangkok, Delhi, Los Angeles, and New York.

Asiana Airlines has six A380s, all of which are active, according to Ch-aviation.

During the pandemic, Asiana flew empty superjumbos to keep its pilots certified, Bloomberg reported in 2020.

The second Seoul-based carrier on this list, Asiana plans to merge with Korean Air. The airline is awaiting regulatory approval, which was previously expected in late 2024 but is now not expected until 2025.

The combined entity could have 15 A380s, the second-most behind Emirates, though that could be impacted by Korean's plans to retire its A380s.

Until then, Asiana flies the A380 from Seoul to Los Angeles, Taipei, and Tokyo Narita.

ANA is the newest customer of the Airbus A380, with its first delivered in 2019.

The Japanese airline has three, which are only used between Tokyo Narita and Honolulu.

ANA is another five-star airline, with an impressive business-class product. But you'll need to fly on a Boeing 777 to experience "The Room" — or in first class, "The Suite," which includes a 43-inch TV.

Hi Fly Malta also has an A380, per Ch-aviation data. The charter airline is a subsidiary of the Portuguese airline Hi Fly and has been working with Global Airlines.

Global Airlines hopes to fly the superjumbo jet between London Gatwick and New York JFK, but its plans have been questioned due to the high cost of operating the A380.

The airline completed its first transatlantic flight in May — ferrying its A380 from California to Scotland via a stop in Montreal.

The 11-year-old jet, formerly owned by China Southern Airlines, had been sitting in a Mojave boneyard and is being refurbished.

Global Airlines plans to acquire another three A380s, with ambitions to start flights next year.
