Which airports will the A380 be able to land at. eg would Glasgow be long enough at 2658m.
AFAIK, Heathrow and Gatwick are the only two UK Airports that are presently making specific preparations to handle the A380.

I would imagine that an A380, at typical landing weight, could probably land quite safely at Glasgow, but wing tip clearance and Apron space would be one of a number of limiting factors, in subsequently taxiing and parking the aircraft.
