Qatar Airways resumed commercial Airbus A380 operations on 16 June 2026, deploying the superjumbo exclusively on Doha–London Heathrow and Doha–Bangkok Suvarnabhumi routes. The restart marks the return of the airline’s largest aircraft after a months-long grounding of all eight active units tied to regional disruptions. Initial service runs twice daily on each corridor, while Paris, Singapore, and Sydney remain served by Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A350 until A380 capacity expands in September. The fleet currently operates at roughly half its pre-grounding volume, reflecting ongoing corridor constraints and reduced demand. This phased rebuild signals cautious recovery of premium long-haul capacity as summer schedules stabilize.
