Haven't heard anything about the airbridge that broke on Stand 12 a few weeks back? Is this working now? What was/is the problem, there brand fire new, how can this happen? What was Emirates reaction to this?
Also, a A380 question, due to some tight turns on some of MAN's taxiways, does the A380 have to vacate the runway at certain points? Is the landing gear problem that bad that it will brake all the time? I have seen it land both at the airport and when watching a video on you tube and all those landings (about 6 or 7 I think I've seen) the A/C has vacated from 23R on AG. I thought AF would of been the turning off point, I take it AF1 is to tight for a A/C that size? I remember seeing Biman DC-10's a few years ago get off at AF1 and slow down very quickly when landing on 23R, but then again suppose they weren't exactley full of passengers were they?!
