Singapore Airlines A380 to Fly Singapore - Frankfurt - New York

Singapore Airlines is to fly the world’s largest commercial aircraft, the Airbus A380, on the Singapore – Frankfurt – New York route from 15 January 2012.

Frankfurt and New York will be Singapore Airlines’ ninth and tenth destinations to receive the superjumbo. New York will also be the second point in North America to be added to the list.

The daily A380 flights will replace an existing daily Boeing 747-400 service to New York’s JFK Airport via Frankfurt, representing a daily increase of 25% in seat capacity.

The Singapore Airlines A380 has proven exceptionally popular with customers. Systemwide, more than 5.6 million customers have flown on Singapore Airlines’ A380s since the inaugural flight in October 2007 to Sydney.

“The introduction of the A380 to Frankfurt and New York is another milestone for Singapore Airlines. For the United States, our customers will be able to enjoy the latest cabin products on all routes, in addition to having the A380 serving both east and west coasts,” said Mr Mak Swee Wah, Singapore Airlines’ Executive Vice President Commercial. “For Germany, it will also mean offering our customers the latest cabin products on both of our daily Frankfurt flights as well as our daily Munich flights.”
