Qantas to phase out A380 from Melbourne

Qantas has announced the end of its A380 operations from Melbourne. The airline is modifying its 485-seat A380 floor plan, while British Airways is eliminating 88 economy seats. The A380 will continue to serve London, with Qantas saying farewell to the aircraft type. The Emirates A380 remains the sole Australian aircraft with a crewed cocktail bar, offering a unique in-flight experience.
