Singapore Airlines add daily A380 flights to Melbourne

Singapore Airlines have announced plans to fly their latest A380 between Melbourne and Singapore. The aircraft will replace the daily 747 flights between the two destinations with the remaining two daily services continuing to be operated by Singapore's 777-300 craft. Flights are expected to commence from the 29 September 2009.

This addition is expected to put pressure on Qantas' lucrative sector with passengers showing a preference for flying to A380 over other aircraft. Qantas currently operate just two services each week out of Melbourne to Los Angeles and a Qantas spokesperson said the carrier remained focused on increasing the frequency of these services when their next craft arrives, rather than to compete with Singapore Airlines on the Melbourne to Singapore route.
