A BA Captain, FO and myself watched in amazement yesterday at LHR as one of the lumbering "Fling Pigs" - Airbus A380 - aborted its landing and climbed out again to "Go Around", a procedure which took around 10 minutes before she landed properly.

"Crikey - that will be expensive!" exclaimed the Captain.

Has anyone got any idea as to the likely fuel bill for an A380 "Go Around"?

Just Curious!
