New Runways At LAX
LAX did in fact build another runway. 25L was completely dug up, and then moved I believe about 50 yards further south. This project was completely done before the A380 went into service. The reasoning was to provide additional wing tip clearance for all, as well as making the High Speed Exits usuable for the A340-500 without their butt or nose sticking out onto an active runway.
The North Complex has always been available to the A380. I was there the first day that one arrived. Airbus brought one over from France to test the new gates and ground movement. It landed on 24R...the most northern runway.
The article that was quoted in the original post kind of sounds like sour apples on someones part to me. But I have no real knowledge of how the LAX ATC people really feel about the A380.
Just my 2 cents.
