What airlines use the A380? Although the primary users of the Airbus A380 are Emirates, Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, and Qantas, there are other airlines that use this aircraft. Emirates, however, have the most A380s in their fleet, totalling 94 with another 12 on order.

Despite many airlines retiring their "Superjumbos" during the early 2020s, the Airbus A380 is seeing a significant operational revival in 2026. Emirates remains the largest operator by far, with a fleet of over 100 A380s serving as the backbone of their Dubai hub. Other major carriers that have kept or reactivated the aircraft include British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Qantas, all of whom use the A380 for high-capacity, "slot-constrained" routes like London to Los Angeles or Singapore to Sydney. Lufthansa has also brought several A380s back into service from Munich to handle the surge in summer travel demand. Even Etihad Airways and All Nippon Airways (ANA) continue to operate the double-decker jet on select flagship routes (ANA famously uses its "Flying Honu" A380s for Hawaii flights). While the A380 is no longer in production, its ability to carry over 500 passengers in a four-class configuration makes it indispensable for major global hubs where airport capacity is limited and premium demand remains at an all-time high in 2026.
