Business Traveller reports that British Airways is to begin operating a daily A380 service to Singapore later this year.
Flying twice-daily on the route, BA currently uses an A380 three times per week, with the remainder of the service operated by a Boeing 777 aircraft.
Starting 14 December 2015, one daily service (BA11 / BA12) will instead be operated exclusively by an A380.
Outbound service (BA11):
- Departs London Heathrow 7.10pm
- Arrives Singapore Changi 3.55pm (next day)
Return service (BA12):
- Departs Singapore Changi 11.20pm
- Arrives London Heathrow 5.10am (next day)
The other daily service (BA15 / BA16) will continue to use a B777.
BA also plans to refurbish its lounge at Changi Terminal 1 this summer. No further details on this are available at present.
Stephen Humphreys, BA’s Head of UK and Ireland Sales, said: “Scheduling the A380 on the Singapore route on a daily basis signals our commitment to the route and the region.”
