ALSO to date Haneda has banned A380 ops due the extra wake turbulance requirements, foreign devil requests for slots - even at dead times - refused.
Unless the politics changes an ANA A380 operation will be ex Narita only HOWEVER should ANA decide the most effective port would, in fact, be Haneda (and have a few quiet words over a sake or two with the shakers and movers in the bureaucracy and JCAB) then the A380 ban could disappear very quickly.
Also remember ANA have NOT gone out and bought these aircraft through choice knowing exactly what routes they're aiming at, they have been pushed into them to keep vested local parties happy following the Skymark bankruptcy.
NOW they have to work out where the hell to send them and set up costly infrastructure for a three fleet orphan.
I doubt ANA head office is awash with unbridled joy regards the A380, would imagine something quite opposite.
BWTF would I know!
Cheers all.
