NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines (SES:C6L.SI - News) will operate Airbus (AIR.PA) A380 aircraft to Delhi and Mumbai cities from May 30, it said on Monday, becoming the first carrier to fly the superjumbos into India after a ban was lifted.

Emirates (EMIRA.UL) and Lufthansa (GER:LHA.DE - News) were also interested in operating A380s in India on various international routes, the Indian government said in January, while lifting the ban.
