Singapore Airlines is achieving load factors of 95% on its A380 services to London Heathrow, according to airline sources, while the four A380s currently in service are averaging nearly 80%. Singapore officials said the novelty of flying aboard the new jumbo aircraft has contributed to their popularity. It launched A380 flights to Tokyo Narita last month and is scheduled to take delivery of its fifth A380 before July. Jun 18, 2008

Singapore Airlines said on Wednesday that it will raise fuel surcharges for tickets issued from June 24 due to the sustained increase in jet fuel prices. The total surcharge now ranges from USD$180 for flights between Singapore and the United States, to USD$40 for flights from the city-state to other Southeast Asian countries, the carrier said in a statement. This is the third time this year the company has raised fuel surcharges, as jet fuel prices have surged 49 percent so far in 2008. Jun 18, 2008
