In 2026, Qantas announced it will start phasing out its fleet of Airbus A380s in 2028, moving up the phase-out date by four years. It is unclear when the last A380 will be retired, but for now, Qantas has restored the last of its remaining ten (out of an original fleet of 12) A380s and continues to operate them on its ultra-long-haul flagship routes. Some of these routes are among the longest regularly scheduled commercial flights in the world.
