Re BHX and handling an A380... its a good question..

We did have the EK one in and it fitted nicely on stand 54C last time, might even have A380 parking line painted up ?.

We do now have a A380 tug (although told it was bust recently) We don't have 2nd deck catering loaders,they were borrowed from LHR on its first visit as was the tug.

CAA have approved BHX to handle A380s and theres an ICAO A380 taxiing chart available for BHX .

So at short notice yes we could handle one on diversion, but probably couldn't turn one around quickly enough on a regular basis at present as to not disrupt other flights without all the equipment.
