The 7 Busiest Airbus A380 Routes This Winter

Despite mostly being in the shadow of newer small twin-engine aircraft for years, the Airbus A380 is enjoying an impressive comeback this winter. Schedule data from Cirium for November 2025 through February 2026, analyzed by Simple Flying route analysts, helps demonstrate how heavily a handful of trunk routes still rely on the double-decker aircraft, with Emirates and Qatar Airways using the type to concentrate huge volumes of capacity into their main hubs. Measured by the number of flights, these seven city pairs alone account for thousands of Airbus A380 movements and many billions of available seat miles over four months.
