The Airbus A380 has been in service for almost two decades, and remains one of the most impressive marvels of modern engineering. Since its entry into service, the superjumbo has proven to be a key capacity driver to the United States, and has been a common sight at major airports in the country.

As per data from aviation analytics company Cirium, there are over 20 Airbus A380 routes to the US scheduled for 2026 originating from eight foreign airports. While the country may have lost a few routes since 2025, seven airlines are scheduled to fly the A380 to ten US airports this year.

All Airbus A380 Routes To The US In 2026

There will be a total of 22 A380 routes to the US this year, with Cirium data revealing over 8,000 one-way flights scheduled over 2026. Ten US airports will see A380 service — Boston, Dallas/Fort Worth, Denver, Honolulu, Houston–Intercontinental, Los Angeles, Miami, New York–JFK, San Francisco, and Washington–Dulles – with flights operated by ANA, Asiana Airlines, British Airways, Emirates, Korean Air, Lufthansa, and Qantas.

The airport with the most A380 routes is Los Angeles International Airport (six), which is double the next highest pair, New York JFK Airport (three) and San Francisco International Airport (three). LAX also has the highest number of A380 operators at six airlines, although this includes Asiana Airlines, which is set to merge fully into Korean Air’s business this year. In fact, Los Angeles is tied with London Heathrow for having the most A380 operators, although Heathrow is way ahead in terms of total flights scheduled, being a base for British Airways.

Emirates leads in terms of A380 routes operated to the US with six, closely followed by British Airways and Lufthansa, both flying five routes. The only A380 pairing to see service from more than one airline is Los Angeles-Seoul, which is flown by Asiana Airlines and Korean Air. Asiana recently revealed it would be reducing frequencies on this route from a double-daily to one daily flight as part of a route reorganization plan.

The Most Frequent A380 Routes To The US

Los Angeles is also on top when measuring total flights scheduled, with the Californian airport scheduled to handle 2,119 roundtrips this year. This is 20% more flights than the second-busiest US airport, New York JFK, which has 1,757 A380 flights scheduled with just two airlines.

In a distant third is San Francisco, which has 862 flights scheduled. The US airport with the lowest number of A380 flights is Denver, which will see the return of Lufthansa’s popular service from Munich this summer.

JFK handles the single-busiest A380 route, which is Emirates’ three-times-daily service from its Dubai hub. Surprisingly, the next most frequent A380 route is at Honolulu, where ANA operates two daily flights from Tokyo Narita.

A380 Routes Lost

Looking at Cirium data from 2025, A380 operations to the US have slightly declined year-on-year, with the total number of scheduled flights down by 4%. It has also lost three routes — Washington Dulles to London Heathrow and New York JFK to Abu Dhabi and Munich — and one airline, with Etihad Airways dropping the A380 from its Abu Dhabi service.

Over the past two decades, seven airlines have ceased A380 operations over the years, the most recent being Etihad. Others that have dropped superjumbo service to the US include Air France, China Southern and Singapore Airlines. Although the A380 looks set to remain flying until at least 2040, several airlines have already retired it, while some current operators will be phasing their double-deckers out in the coming years.
