British Airways will launch a daily A380 service to Vancouver next summer.
From May 1, the airline will roster the superjumbo on to flights BA084/085 between London Heathrow and Vancouver International airport.
The aircraft will replace the B747-400 that currently operates on the route, reports airlineroute.net.
Outbound service BA085 will depart LHR at 1715 and land in Vancouver at 1840, while return service BA084 will leave Vancouver at 2050 and arrive in London at 1400 the next day.
BA's other LHR-Vancouver service, BA086/087 will increase from five-times weekly to daily and from a B747-400 to a B777-200ER on May 15. ***EDIT, 30/07/15 - this service now appears to have been cancelled.***
