Just an 'Add-On'. In a recent UK newspaper it said that London(LHR) are about to spend 40 million pounds to "Upgrade" their runways to cope with the weight of the A380.
According to many Airbus supporters on this and related subjects the A380 will actually weigh less per wheel, (footprint), than the current B747-400 so why the need to spend 40 million GBP I ask?
