SINGAPORE, March 12 (Reuters) - The world's largest passenger jet will take off for Tokyo from Singapore on May 20, making it the third commercial destination for the Airbus (EAD.PA) A380 plane from the city-state.

Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI) said on Wednesday that the daily scheduled flight will depart for the Japanese capital's Narita Airport, and return to Singapore on the same day.

Singapore Air, the first airline globally to operate the superjumbo, launched A380 services to Sydney on Oct 25, and will start flying the aircraft to London from March 18.

The airline said earlier on Wednesday that it has taken delivery of its third A380, and has firm orders for a further 16 with options on six more. (Reporting by Daryl Loo, editing by Neil Chatterjee)
