    The turnaround time on A380 was impressive, by comparison

    The 2 Signapore A380's are a little deceptive. The first was previously towed in from a remote stand and the last was being towed away to a remote stand. The Emirates A380 was a straight forward arrival and departure.

    Is Atlanta not the busiest airport in the world? I thought Heatrow was only 3rd!

    If Singapore use the A380 for the LHR-BKK route, what does the other Singapore aircraft fly? Presume it was a 777 or something similar.

    Singapore have two A380 and a 777 daily out of LHR all to home base in Singapore Changi.
