The Kempegowda International Airport’s (KIA) Code F compliant runway may be ready for flight operations
by December, opening the doors for the Airbus A380 to start operations to Bengaluru.
However, airlines operating A 380 do not seem to be very enthusiastic at the moment to bring the world’s largest passenger aircraft to Bengaluru with some stating that they have no immediate announcements to make while other preferring to operate A350-900 on the international routes.
Singapore Airline, which from September 1 introduced the A380R from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport for daily flights between Mumbai and Singapore, said that they do not have any immediate announcements to make about introducing the aircraft from Bengaluru.
“We do not have any immediate announcements to make. Singapore Airlines constantly reviews market factors and available resources on each route, to mount the most suitable aircraft type,” a Singapore Airlines Ltd spokesperson told Bangalore Mirror.
The airlines A380 R offers luxurious first-class suite cabin experience for its passengers with six suites. The Lufthansa, the other airline, which operates the A 380 in India along with the Singapore Airlines and Emirates, will be operating the A350-900 when it introduces the Bengaluru-Munich route next year.
The German carrier, which currently operates the A 380 on the Delhi Frankfurt route, will operate the A350- 900 when it starts operating direct flights five times a week between Bengaluru and Munich from March 31 next year.
