All 12 of Singapore Airlines' Airbus A380s are back in service

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has successfully returned all of its Airbus A380 aircraft to service. This development aligns with the ongoing recovery of air travel demand in Southeast Asia, where airlines are targeting a 90% capacity rebound by the close of 2023 following the global pandemic. Despite a period of uncertainty regarding the future of A380 operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, the A380 is making a comeback, much to the delight of many A380 enthusiasts. Several airlines are reintroducing the A380 into service, and Emirates has even expressed interest in larger aircraft than the A380. While Singapore Airlines never announced the end of its Airbus A380 operations, there was a gradual reduction in the deployment of the double-decker at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, Singapore Airlines has now been gradually resuming A380 operations. The most recent aircraft to resume operations is Singapore Airlines' Airbus A380, registered as 9V-SKP, marking the return of the entire fleet of SIA's A380 to service, as first reported by Mainly Miles. According to Flightradar24.com, the 9V-SKP resumed operations on December 7, 2023, completing a three-hour flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). The aircraft is now scheduled to operate on longer-range routes, including flights from Singapore to Sydney (SYD) in Australia or Singapore to Auckland (AKL) in New Zealand.<br/>
