MAN Taxiways etc
Fuel Boy - True, the A380 doesn't feature in plans for T2 but other large types like B773, A346 and possibly B748 do and indeed some already use T2. Stands 204 and 206 have been lengthened recently to take them. The plan for A380 on Stand 60 is long gone. A380s will be served by a new stand (or stands) on the end of Pier B. Pier B will need some upgrading at the very least to the buidling structure and facilities. The apron area in question (around Stand 12) is currently closed awaiting re-construction, which will ionclude a re-alignment of Taxiway Juliet to the south as part of the dual-parallel taxiways plan. Design of this reconstruction will incorporate the A380 stand(s). Customer is EK who plan 2 x daily A380 from 2012. This will necessitate a terminal swap for EK but is in line with plans to re-distribute airline traffic across the 3 terminals.
