Dub is certified for A380. It is an Air France diversion station for the A380. One stand in T2 is designated for use in an emergency.
I didn't know that. Are any other airports in Ireland similarly designated? I presume Shannon.

That said, an emergency diversion airport is somewhat different from being an operational destination from which an economical pax and cargo load plus long haul fuel can be lifted off the runway.
