I’m guessing that if EK do bring the A380 to Stansted eventually, it’ll just require a new air bridge for one of those stands mentioned above. If EK propose this to MAG you can bet your bottom dollar that MAG will bend over backwards to make it happen.
Original rumour was Emirates wanted to use the A380, but MAG said no due to having to take stands and areas of SAT1 out for construction.
I think that once SAT2 is redeveloped and the APV (Bussing Terminal) is expanded that will give room to move some EasyJet or Jet2 flights off SAT1 and allow construction of multiple two or theee arm jet bridges.
