Singapore Airlines (SIA) received a sixth member to its A380 family today.

The superjumbo touched down in Singapore at 8.23am, following a delivery flight from the Airbus Delivery Centre in Toulouse, said SIA in a news release.

The new A380 will operate on the Singapore-London route commencing September 20, complementing an existing A380 daily service.

"The Singapore-London route is the first in the world to be operated twice a day by the superjumbo," said SIA.

SIA was the first carrier to operate the world's largest passenger plane in October 2007. Aside from London, the Airline operates daily A380 flights between Sydney and Singapore, and Tokyo and Singapore.
