I do seem to remember I read that all of the EK 380,s carry a tow bar on board...just in case
Also I can't see Bhx needing all the equipment at the moment, but I am sure if EK have told Bhx they will use a380,s on regular flights that they would get all the equipment needed
I do think that we have now 'enough ' equipment and suitable taxiways etc to handle diversions of EK only 380 aircraft
