Slots used for an A380
BA states that one its reasons to select the A380 is to gain greater capacity at slot-limited airports such as LHR. It was my understanding that the A380 had wake turbulence issues, and that spacing distances behind it needed to be enlarged. This would suggest that the A380 might need to use 1.5 or 2 standard heavy slots per takeoff/landing.
Has this issue been resolved? Will the A380 require greater spacing? Or will it be able to trade slots on a one-for-one basis with a 744/777/340?
