A380
As I understand it, MAN is already capable of handling the A380.
Peter Hampson - Airfield Manager - advised at a recent meeting that:
a/ The Runway is wide enough - in fact he says we actually have the widest runway in the UK, allowing for hardened shoulders. That is bound to start debate, as I thought that Manston had that title.
b/ There is space for at least 2 A380s - on Terminals 1 and 2.
c/ Taxiway routing would be restricted but they can get in and out - it does help does'nt it!
Let debate recommence.
