Where Does the Airbus A380 Fly? April 2015 Network Update

Every month Routesonline provides an update on the current schedules of five latest aircraft programmes, highlighting the routes the types are being deployed upon. We regularly look at the operations of the Airbus A350, Airbus A380, Boeing 747-8I, Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Sukhoi SSJ100 Superjet. We also reveal the network size of each operator and the top destinations served by the aircraft type. This list for April 2015 was compiled on March 31, 2015 and changes to planned routes are likely.

The data is all supplied by OAG Aviation using its OAG Schedules Analyser tool.
