Various other threads got me thinking about which airports see and will see A380 service from multiple airlines, so I'll try to make a chronological list by number of operators.
The ones already operating and announced are pretty easy.
2: SYD (SQ, QF), LHR (SQ, EK), SIN (SQ, QF)
3: LHR (SQ, EK, QF), SYD (SQ, QF, EK), SIN (SQ, QF, EK)
Beyond that, it's more difficult but i'll throw in a few guesses for AF and LH.
2: JFK (EK, AF), NRT (SQ, AF), CDG (finally A380 service to Europe ) (AF, EK), FRA (LH, EK)
3: JFK (EK, AF, LH), NRT (SQ, AF, LH), FRA (LH, EK, SQ)
4: SIN (SQ, QF, EK, LH), NRT (SQ, AF, LH, EK), JFK (EK, AF, LH, QF), FRA (LH, EK, SQ, QF)
5: SIN (SQ, QF, EK, LH, AF), JFK (EK, AF, LH, QF, SQ)

Quoting Airtebiong (Reply 7): The question is which A380 operator won't serve LHR?
AF
On a regular basis, of course, NO.
But it's very possible that AF will operate a few CDG-LHR-CDG or CDG-NCE-CDG with the A380 to train the pilots, like they did in the past with the B744 and B777

I am a little hesitant about NRT. Even though we know we will get more A380s, I don't think we will get as many A380s as we have 744s. This is especially true if HND gets more international flights. That means there might be a drastic shift for Inter-Asia flights and even some Europe flights.
We know that LH, AF, EK and KE will most likely operate to NRT but beyond that, I am not that sure.
AF stated its intent. EK will do it simply due to their limited slots. KE will do it in place of their 744 service. We have SQ now. BA is also very likely unless Traffic to the UK falls out.
Yes...I am not a KIX fan. Let's Japanese Aviation!
