The Airbus A380 got a second life. Here's where you can still fly on the world's largest passenger jet.

See every airline flying the Airbus A380 and the routes and destinations where you can still experience the world's largest passenger jet this winter.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many airlines decided to discontinue their use of the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger jet. However, Emirates remains the biggest operator, with a fleet of 117 superjumbos. The airline, based in Dubai, offers passengers a luxurious experience on board, with a bar and shower facilities in business class.

Emirates currently operates the A380 on routes including Dubai to London, New York, and Sydney. Other airlines, such as British Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Qatar Airways, have also reintroduced the A380 in recent years, offering unique features like a bar and spacious suites in first class. Despite its initial popularity, the A380's high operating costs and competition from point-to-point twin-jet aircraft have led to its eventual decline in usage.
