The US is utterly vital to the Airbus A380’s operations. Thanks to the country’s population, geographic area, demand, wealth, extent of premium traffic, and more, it has nearly one in five superjumbo services (18%). Flights are operated by All Nippon, Asiana, British Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways (the type returned to the US in 2024), Korean Air, Lufthansa (returned to the US in 2023), and Qantas.
