Asian Continent likely to experience travel Boom!
The A380 will become an
increasingly familiar sight in the skies over Asia-Pacific as two more
of this region’s carriers add the 21st century flagship jetliner to
their fleets in 2012.
Having begun its commercial operations in
Asia-Pacific with Singapore Airlines in 2007, the A380 today is flown on
a growing route system throughout this part of the world – in addition
to operations that connect cities around the globe.
Half of the total 69 A380s delivered by Airbus to
date are utilized by Asian-Pacific carriers, with Singapore Airlines
having been joined by Qantas Airways, Korean Air and China Southern.
The other international A380 operators are Europe’s Air France and
Lufthansa, along with Emirates in the Middle East.
Airbus continues to accelerate its A380 production
rate, with 30 deliveries planned in 2012 – including the first for
Malaysia Airlines and Thai Airways. This follows the 26 aircraft
provided last year, during which Korean Air and China Southern added the
initial A380s to their fleets.
