It will fly and from a commercial point there is some concern from those that have not placed orders.

Excepting they will not fly with 600 - 700 people at first but with 500 plus it will enable the likes of Emirates to vastly increase the Business / First areas and be able to completely undercut the other non A380 operators making vast inroads to there presently reducing yields. It therefore follows that the same equation will be applied across the pond. The beancounters are already depressed in cetain corporate HQ's.

Postscript several of the ramp vehicle manufacturers already have new vehicles specifications on the drawing board and a numbser of the aircraft / avaition support companies are in talks.
