On 19 December 2000 the Airbus supervisory board approved the A380 programme, backed by 50 firm commitments from six airlines. Final assembly was to be split between Toulouse and Hamburg, with first service then planned for early 2006.

On 18 January 2005 Airbus revealed the first A380 to more than 4,500 guests in its Toulouse final assembly hall, with the leaders of France, the UK, Germany and Spain presiding. The prototype wore Airbus's new livery, three months before its first flight.

On 12 December 2006 EASA and the FAA handed Airbus the A380 type certificates at a ceremony in Toulouse, ten months before the first delivery. It was the first large aircraft certified by EASA.

On 15 October 2007 Airbus handed the first A380 to Singapore Airlines at its Toulouse delivery centre, 18 months after the original plan. The aircraft, 9V-SKA, carried 471 seats in three classes.

On 25 October 2007 Singapore Airlines flight SQ380 carried 455 passengers from Singapore to Sydney, the first passenger flight of the A380. Most seats had been sold on eBay, with proceeds going to charity.

On 28 July 2008 Emirates received its first A380 at Airbus's Hamburg plant and unveiled a cabin with first-class showers and an onboard lounge. The Gulf carrier, the biggest A380 customer with 58 ordered, flew it Dubai to New York on 1 August.

On 4 November 2010 the No. 2 Rolls-Royce Trent 900 of Qantas A380 VH-OQA failed in flight after takeoff from Singapore. Debris damaged the left wing and systems, but the crew landed safely at Changi.

Airbus and Emirates signed a contract for 20 additional A380s, with 16 further options, in a US$16 billion deal at list prices. It was widely read as keeping the A380 line alive.

On 14 February 2019 Airbus said it would stop delivering the A380 in 2021 after Emirates cut its order from 162 to 123 aircraft. Emirates ordered 40 A330-900s and 30 A350-900s worth US$21.4 billion at list prices instead.

On 16 December 2021 Emirates received the last Airbus A380, A6-EVS, its 123rd, ending 14 years of deliveries. The ceremony was muted and the jet left Hamburg-Finkenwerder at 16:41 CET for Dubai.
