The following is a list of current and former operators of the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft.
The first flight was on April 27, 2005. Singapore Airlines was the first carrier to operate the A380 in October 2007. Emirates, one of the two flag carriers of the United Arab Emirates, is the largest operator, with 121 aircraft in its fleet, including the last one, which was delivered in 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected the global A380 fleet, prompting some airlines to cease its operation entirely. Prior to the pandemic, the aircraft had already been slated for gradual retirement due to operational inflexibility and high fuel consumption. However, delays in the delivery of newer models, the surge in global travel demand led to a renewed appreciation for the aircraft, resulting in its reintroduction by major airlines.
As of August 2025, a total of 186 A380s remain in service, while 36 are stored, and 24 have been scrapped.
