Yes at the moment I agree the European airlines wouldn't do it, but my point is in time if the demand keeps rising and LHR can't offer the slots then they may use larger aircraft and still maintain the frequency.

Its already happening with EK A380s, what is it now 4 a day with possibly a 5th ? Do you really think all those pax are going to DXB only ? Like hell they are !

So not a daft argument just looking ahead thats all.

Yes AF did fly CDG - LHR with the A380 for a while but it was mainly for crew training, I know, I went on one of the flights.
