Unfortunately, at some airports such as LAX, the A380 does nothing for arrival/departure congestion. Following the wake turbulence event over the North Arabian sea involving an Emirates A380, ATC in the US applies an increased separation compared - ie, it is double the spacing between other wide bodies & thus it takes up two arrival or departure slots resulting in no savings. The only saving being for parking bays at the terminal.
