Singapore Airlines will increase its A380 services on the Singapore-London route to double-daily from 20 September 2008.

The additional A380 flights will operate on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, following the delivery of the sixth A380 aircraft to Singapore Airlines from manufacturer Airbus in September 2008.

The third daily flight will continue to be operated by a Boeing 747-400 for the time being.

The service is currently operated by an A380 four times weekly.

Singapore Airlines first started daily A380 operations between Singapore and London in March 2008, and increased frequency to 11 times a week in mid-July.

In addition to London, the Singapore Airlines A380 flies daily to Sydney and Tokyo.

Singapore Airlines has firm orders for a further 13 A380s and options on another six.
