Hi folks!
I apologise in advance if you think this is a silly question but I'm just interested...
At the end of last month I flew LIN to LHR for a meeting and when we were taxiing to our stand at T5 I noticed (well, difficult not to...) 2 Qantas A380s moored up away from any terminal.
On Monday of this week, I did the same trip and they were there again. As they are so far away from the terminal, and there didn't seem to be any activity around the aircraft on either occasion, it occurred to me that they might not actually be being used. Does anyone know if this is the case? If it is, what's the reason?
I should imagine that it would be quite costly NOT to have them in the air...
Couldn't take a picture as all MY electronics were turned off. Someone has snapped them in the same place that I saw them though:
