Rarely have I read so much rubbish pre the A380 operation at BHX.
Does nobody think that the management of the airport, handling agents, fuelers, air traffic (not to mention Emirates) and the like haven't thrashed out plans as to how the airport will handle the larger aircraft, within the confines of the facilities available? You'd think, to read some of this (NOT, I might add, from posters who lurk more often on the MAN thread) that the sky was going to fall in on Sunday!
The greatest unknown, and something which the airport has no control is UKBA, who will undoubtedly be even more vigilant than usual following this weeks attacks in Brussels; but perhaps even they might have done some forward planning - not withstanding the UK's mantra "security is paramount"!
Of course there will be teething problems, but surely not the mayhem that's being suggested.
