EK A380 due at MAN 07/09/09 for testing, if all goes well it will start daily operations in January 2010.
So, between now and January, 6 months, EK and MAN will have all the infrastructure and ground support necessary to turnround a 380?
Can't see it myself. The Engineering Type course takes 3 months + on job training and then another 3 months to get it on the EASA/CAA License.
AFAIK no one on the airport is currently type rated.
Unless of course EK are setting up their own base of operations.......
Where's me CV?
