Chinapattern,

Thanks for confirming the A380 markings on stand 54C. and agree entirely with you and Olton Pete, 764 has too many business seats for BHX markets.

In general folks

Without 2nd deck loaders Im told by a handler it would take an extra 45 mins to carry all catering etc from the main deck to upper .

However I can't see BHX handlers buying these ultra high loaders unless they get a confirmed regular A380 flight from Emirates, must be very expensive.

Does BHX have an A380 tow bar..think they are very expensive too

I can see British Airways nominating BHX as a diversion airport when they get their A380s soon..not that it means they will divert here as their 747/777s have ignored BHX for nearly 2 yrs for some reason ?
