"Emirates isn’t the only carrier operating them -"

============

Of course not, just far & away the leading airline using the A380 cattle hauler.

And they are already heading for the bone yard. Ten years into their use, Sing is already finding more efficient airliners.

"In November 2017 Singapore Airlines ferried their first ever Airbus A380, 9V-SKA, devoid of titles in all-white paint, from Changi to a storage facility in Lourdes, France. Three months later 9V-SKB followed the familiar routing. The ten-year lease of these aircraft had come to an end and these were the first two of an eventual five A380s SIA opted to stop operating and return to their owners.

It’s a sad announcement for these two aircraft, which have a special place in the affections of ardent SIA fans. 9V-SKA made aviation history in October 2007 when it operated the first ever passenger-carrying A380 flight in the world from Singapore to Sydney, to much media attention. Today it sits in a much sorrier state in France, with no engines fitted."

Notice Fedex is NOT on the list, even though they built a hangar for it in Memphis. Now they use it for 777’s.
