Singapore Airlines (SIA) sent off an Airbus A380 on to serve Los Angeles today, July 1, 2011 with the inaugural Singapore-Narita-Los Angeles service departing from Changi Airport this morning at 0930 local time. Nearly 400 passengers were onboard.
The City of Angels is SIA's first point in North America to receive the superjumbo. It is expected to land there at 1330 local time.
Since the carrier introduced the A380 into its network in October 2007 with a flight to Sydney, over five million customers have enjoyed the experience. Known as an energetic innovator, SIA recently announced changes to the aircraft's configuration, particularly the upper deck (see here).
