FROM Saturday, Singapore Airlines will operate the Airbus 380 twice a day - up from a daily now - on the Singapore-London route.

This follows the arrival of its sixth superjumbo which landed at Changi Airport on Thursday at 8.23am.

The plane left the Airbus delivery centre in Toulouse, France on Wednesday.

SIA, the first carrier to operate the A380 in October last year, also uses the aircraft on two other popular routes - Singapore-Sydney and Singapore-Tokyo.

The Singapore carrier has 19 firm orders for the A380.

Emirates has also started flying the superjumbo while Australia's Qantas will introduce the plane to its fleet next month.
