33 Routes: Where Is The Airbus A380 Flying This Week?

Nine airlines have Airbus A380 flights this week. With the travel industry continuing to recover, there are now some 88 services that will deploy the Airbus A380. While Emirates continues to dominate this category, the Dubai-based carrier is now joined by many more airlines, including All Nippon Airways, Asiana, Qatar Airways, and more. Let's look at where the worldwide A380 fleet will be appearing this week, going airline by airline.

All Nippon Airways

Operating with their uniquely-painted "Flying Honu" liveries, the A380s of All Nippon Airways (ANA) are only deployed on one route this week, with service between Tokyo Narita to Honolulu. The carrier will operate just two round-trip services between September 12th and 18th.
