Singapore Airlines will deploy the Airbus A380 on select flight to Mumbai and New Delhi.
The A380 superjumbo will operate daily to both Mumbai and New Delhi with effect from May30, taking over from two daily flights that currently serve each city using smaller Boeing 777s.
Another daily flight will continue to be operated with B777s. In total, 14 flights will serve each city per week.
"We have been keen to operate the Airbus A380 to India and are glad that the Air Services Agreement between Singapore and India now allows us to do so," said Singapore SVP marketing planning, Lee Wen Fen.
Singapore Airlines was the first airline to operate the A380 when it was put into service in October 2007 between Singapore and Sydney.
The superjumbo now also serves Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, New York, Paris, Shanghai, Tokyo Narita and Zurich.
