A380 on all US and Austrulasian flights,

The game plan has always been to operate the A380 on all ULR flights, which includes the Americas and Austrulasian destinations. Reason is that the aircraft was designed for medium to long haul flights with ultimate passenger comfort and satisfying demand with a greater capacity. Also airports need to provide or be adaptable to facilities like direct F and C class boarding gates, straight from the EK lounge to the upper deck. This can only be achieved where ternimals are a commercial concern and not bogged down by beaurocratic politics.
