Singapore Airlines To Operate Its Airbus A380 On The Hong Kong Route

For a limited five-week period in mid-2026, Singapore Airlines (SQ) will resume its Airbus A380 services along the Singapore (SIN) – Hong Kong (HK) route. Equipped with the carrier’s flagship 2017 Business Class products and suites, this short-haul route (approximately four hours long) gives flyers a chance to experience Singapore Airlines’ new premium cabins onboard the double-decker A380 aircraft.

This temporary service will be reintroduced along the Singapore-Hong Kong route during the peak summer travel period, from June 21, 2026 to July 25, 2026.

Singapore Airlines brings back Airbus A380 on the Singapore-Hong Kong route

During the June-July 2026 period, Singapore Airlines will replace the Boeing 777-300ER (77W) with the Airbus A380 for five weeks on select flights. Travellers will be able to fly on the Airbus A380 for flights numbered SQ892 for the Singapore to Hong Kong route, and SQ893 on the return trip.

Apart from this five-week window, the carrier will service the Singapore-Hong Kong route using the Boeing 777-300ER, which features the older 2013 First Class and Business Class seats.

Throughout the Northern Summer season 2026, Singapore Airlines will operate five daily flights between Singapore and Hong Kong. While most of them will be serviced by Airbus A350-900s, the SQ892/893 service will be upgraded to A380s.
