Emirates 380

Its been discussed previously on here that as part of the opening of the new pier Ek has been asked to bring in an A380, this has been discussed by the airport and yes BHX can handle the A/C just need a tow bar for the beast. Am sure this will be organised if one comes in. Saying that it cannot operate scheduled service due to max take off weight restrictions due runway length, had heard will only be sold up to 777 config, so if it does come in it will be a one off.

Other airlines are also planning things such as the Lufthansa Junkers and numerous airlines have been asked to send in their retro schemed a/c. Dates have varied so will leave that for now as the pier is running behind a little I beleive.

Best regards

Baz
