Rondun has picked up on something that everybody else seems to have missed - why were they instructed to taxi counter clockwise on the clockwise taxiway (A) - not that it would have made any difference because they could have been taxiing (clockwise) on A to their gate and would still have had the same wingspan from the center line of Alpha.
I wonder if two A380s taxiing in opposite directions on A and B have enough room to pass each other?
Reminds me of the freeway around Paris (peripherique). When driving clockwise around Paris (or Toulouse, they always follow Paris) you take the peripherique intérieur (closest to Paris) and anti clockwise you take the peripherique extérieur!
