Qantas A380 New Route Speculation

[markis10]

Won’t happen. The 767 had much more of a claim to preservation, and they just disappeared, and have been forgotten by almost everyone.

Agree, and there are two unwanted SQ birds languishing in ASP already.

Sorry to jump into an old thread but figured it's somewhat relevant.

Looking at SE asia in Feb, and just wondering if anyone had any insight into whether QF would throw A380s on the Syd-HKG route for summer/CNY again?

I know they did in 2023/24 and from what I can see it was announced roughly this time of year but I don't know if they did for 2024/25.

Trying to gauge whether this might trigger more seats being released.

SYD-BKK or SYD-SIN or any other Australian city to BKK or SIN.

Currently there's quite good demand and people are going elsewhere.

I agree SIN and BKK are two very popular routes at the moment, loads are strong for QF and it would be good to see them increase BKK, even start a new direct from another city.

Yes. Finding premium CR seats on those routes is almost impossible, so presumably they’re making money not releasing them. Compare that to CGK, MNL and HKG (and some Indian ports) that are pretty generous with CR seats.

And any A380 routes to Asia would only use 1 frame per 24 hours.
