SINGAPORE- One of the world’s best carriers, Singapore Airlines (SQ), has released its Airbus A380 schedules for the Northern Winter 2025-26 season, operating from Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) to up to seven international destinations.

Four cities receive year-round A380 service: London Heathrow (LHR), Sydney (SYD), Delhi (DEL), and Mumbai (BOM). Meanwhile, Auckland (AKL), Frankfurt (FRA), and Shanghai (PVG) benefit from seasonal or partial A380 deployments.

According to Mainly Miles, the airline’s superjumbo network is rebuilding steadily but remains short of its pre-pandemic levels.

Summary

Singapore Airlines will operate Airbus A380s to 7 destinations this winter, with four cities, London, Sydney, Delhi, and Mumbai, enjoying year-round service, while Auckland, Frankfurt, and Shanghai feature seasonal routes.

The fleet of 12 superjumbos, all with updated cabins, supports 112 weekly A380 flights by early 2026, a recovery from pandemic lows though not yet at 2019–2020 levels.

With KrisFlyer award devaluations coming in November 2025, redemptions on India and Shanghai routes remain strong value in the near term.
