Are A380 flights between Singapore and Europe still flying as per normal? I'm flying to Paris with Singapore Airlines next month and have both SYD-SIN and SIN-CDG legs booked on A380s. Fingers crossed I get to fly on at least one A380.

Yes all other A380 flights are operating as normal as far as I know

As usual Australia gets the old planes again and the sub-standard treatment.

Although I don't think CASA is happy with the A380's operating in/out of Australia

Given CASA are a government regulator, wouldn't such a directive have been published on their website with all the others?

CASA quietly grumbling about something I can understand, but actually banning SQ from operating the A380? Sounds a bit like rumour that's snowballed to me.

Thanks Andrew. Hopefully all will be relatively back to normal by the time I go, but good to know my chances of an A380 flight are not totally dashed.

It seems that A380's are not coming back to the SIN-MEL/SYD route for months ?

Can anyone confirm this ?
