Which is why you find most A380s in Dubai, London and on long haul routes like LAX and SYD.
EVA flies 2 77W back-to-back on LAX-TPE within half an hour.
Istanbul doesn't even have a single A380 gate. None of the airlines you mentioned ever flew an A380 either.

Since it is the wrong solution for the problem. > Which is why you find most A380s in Dubai, London I am not surprised that it did not work for this airlines. "Istanbul doesn't even have a single A380 gate." Not sure what you mean with this. I was talking about the new airport and the airport is prepared for the A380, see link. Again, the A380 is the right solutions in size, it is just wrong in cost performance because it came 10 years too early. https://airlinerwatch.com/new-istanbul-airport-prepares-room-for-the-airbus-a380/ https://airlinerwatch.com/new-istanbul-airport-prepares-room...
