A380 - Man

MAN is currently not listed as an alternate for SQ. However as Airbus make more deliveries to airlines that already serve the airport, that may change.

23R -05L is able to accommodate the A380, having the length and most importantly, the strengthened shoulders to 60m. There are major taxiway works underway at the moment. Whilst most work is replacement, elements of the airfield capacity plan will provide Code F routes.

Code F's can be handled, but require an Airfield Ops service, and non-standard parking remote on the West Apron. This is until the work is completed on Stand 12, and also on Pier C, Stand 31. This being undertaken as Emirates have suggested to the Airport that they intend to operate an A380 to Dubai by around 2010.
