A while back (a couple of years?) EK switched to a “new” A380 gate in the main body of the North Terminal. However, is their original A380 gate on the satellite no longer suitable for A380s? Please could a LGW expert advise.
I think a number of people who know these things have posted that the remote A380 gate over the bridge has gone the way of all flesh, but I will bow to their excellent wisdom if I have misquoted them.
