Singapore Airlines launches A380 on Los Angeles route via Tokyo

The inaugural Singapore – Narita – Los Angeles A380 departed Singapore with nearly 400 customers on board.

According to a release, the superjumbo, operating as flight SQ12, is scheduled to make its maiden
touchdown in Los Angeles at 1330hrs local time. The City of Angels is the eighth destination in Singapore Airlines’ network and its first point in North America to receive the world’s largest commercial aircraft.

The Singapore Airlines A380 has proven exceptionally popular with customers, with strong loads on all routes it serves. System-wide, more than 5 million customers have flown on Singapore Airlines’ A380s since the inaugural flight of the superjumbo in October 2007.

Singapore Airlines was the first carrier to operate the A380 in October 2007. Since the start of commercial service, the aircraft have clocked around 128,000 flying hours on more than 13,000 flights. The Airline currently has 12 A380s in service and seven more on firm order.

The Singapore Airlines A380 will operate daily flights between Singapore and Los Angeles (via Tokyo Narita) following the inaugural service.
