The report says that the aircraft would possibly enter the commercial flights from the month of October this year. The Singapore Airlines (SIA) will be the first airline that would get the services of A380.

The Airbus officials had planned to fly the aircraft for the Bangalore Aero India air show in February but the program failed because the Bangalore airfield is comparatively small to fly A380 Airbus.
