All ready on Forums its the end of July for BHX
Which ones, this is the first one Ive seen that has mentioned it?

BHX is one of only a small number of English Airports that is CAA approved to
handle the A380 and the taxiying chart for them is attached on NATS site as is MAN, and probably LGW too
LGW is definitely ready, as is STN, MAN, PIK and Im assuming MSE due to the A380 effectively being based there for training. I think BHX has the issue of not being fully Code F compliant just yet, with the extra fire cover needed for such aircraft having to be drafted in. Im not sure if its still the case now with the new fire trucks they have brought?

The situation as I understood it last was that the A380 could use BHX, but only with advance notice, but, like I say Ive not checked the updates to see if the new fire equipment has changed that.
