You've obviously not seen the new hangar plans then?
Up to 4 bays A380 size to be built opposite TBJ/K.
No, I haven't seen the plans. There is no mention of hangarage in the original order announcement! I assume BA didn't announce the plans for the A380 hangars before the order for the A380s themselves, so an announcement was made since?

Very pleased that a successful outcome is continuing. it was a tremendously exciting leap of faith and risk for Airbus to take on such a massive project. It's success is assured now, so very relieved for all the Airbus staff who worked so hard on it. How sad so many carp on and denigrate it- I don't know what they want- maybe the world to move backwards? And well done for Rolls Royce- I'm glad the 747-8 and its 'no choice' engines was disregarded. Perhaps manufacturers won't try and stitch up their customers this way again.
