QANTAS has introduced its first Airbus A380 into service, becoming the third commercial operator of the superjumbo after Singapore Airlines and Emirates. The first flight departed Melbourne en route for Los Angeles at 11:15 am local time on 20 October. The airline took delivery of the aircraft in September and initially used it for training. The A380 is now also being used on some Sydney-Los Angeles services and will commence operations to London via Singapore in January. Qantas has another 19 A380s on order up to the end of 2013 and expects to take delivery of two of those aircraft this year, with another five arriving in 2009.
