SINGAPORE - Singapore Airlines (SIA) said Thursday it will start using the Airbus A380 superjumbo on its Hong Kong route starting next month.
SIA, which operates five daily non-stop flights between Singapore and Hong Kong, said the A380 will replace an existing Boeing B777-300ER service.
SIA, the launch customer for the superjumbo, currently flies the world's biggest passenger plane from Singapore to Sydney, London, Tokyo and Paris.
The giant plane can carry up to 853 passengers but SIA has chosen a setup with a maximum 471 seats.
SIA currently has eight A380s in operation, while it also has a firm order for another 11 and options for six more, the carrier said.
