Right so 1 week to go and the beautiful bird will be at MAN, can't wait! I used to see A380s everyday when I worked in Hamburg (For Airbus UK), have been in MSN 0003 (Signapore Airlines) in 2007 but never flew in one.
So can someone confirm in summary what is left to do with regards to operations for the A380s first visit? The 2 airbridges have been installed, have they been tested? Has gate 12 in pier b all been re-decorated, a complete refurb of the whole pier b is needed! I take it the airport must of spent a lot for the ground ops etc? New vechiles to reach the passenger doors for catering etc. How long will it take to re-fuel the A380? Will this be performed as per the current method of re-fuelling A/C or another way?
And finally, has anyone any pics of stand 12 inside and/or out? I'm at MAN on Saturday for the aviation fair so take it will see some of the stand from the AVP?
Sorry for all the questions, I'm just so looking forward to it's arrival at my local regional airport.
