Singapore Airlines takes delivery of its 5th A380

SINGAPORE -- Singapore Airlines has taken delivery of its fifth Airbus A380 superjumbo which will be used for its Singapore-London service starting on July 16, the carrier said.

The A380 will be the second deployed for the London service after the world’s biggest plane made its debut at Heathrow Airport on a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight from the city-state in March.

However both planes for London will be temporarily redeployed to SIA’s Beijing route to cater for increased demand ahead of the Olympic Games from Aug. 2 for a week, the carrier said in a statement late Saturday.
