Singapore Airlines to fly A380 on 60-minute flight

Singapore Airlines is set to deploy Airbus A380s on select flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur this fall, for what the airline calls "operational requirements" as the superjumbo returns to the skies.

(CNN) — The Airbus A380 is designed for long-haul flying, thanks to its hefty size and famously quiet inflight experience.

But come November 2021, Singapore Airlines will deploy a superjumbo on a short-haul flight lasting a mere 60 minutes.

Travelers heading on certain flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia will board what is believed to be the shortest A380 passenger flight currently in service.
