Two A380's at Gatwick this morning???
I have been told that UAE7001 A380 A6-EDT arrived at Gatwick this morning???
I wonder if that is to take the pax from last nights delayed UAE10 service?
No A380 contacts on twr yet.

Sad I missed the other A380 arrival at 7am this morning.
Still no sign of anything on FR24.

So with Emirates and their A380's, Norwegian and their 787's and Flynas and their A330's, there'll be a few new heavies to be seen at Gatwick in the months to come.
Are there any rumours on any other possible new long haul routes; wasn't there talk that Qatar might come back at some point with the 787? How about Etihad perhaps?
Other than Garuda, could there be any more Far East additions?

Garuda run reasonably full out of Amsterdam vai Abu Dahbi but Gatwick looks like a stretch TBH
Of course they are a sponsor of Liverpool FC so maybe John Lennon would be a better bet?

Since it has not been commented here earlier, Gatwick ended up on the 6th place on Skytrax 2014 World's Most Improved Airports list under Passenger Terminal Expo in Barcelona last week.

The First Scheduled A380 has Departed.
Airbus A380 A6-EDZ that arrived yesterday as Gatwick's first scheduled A380 has finally departed today at 11:25pm BST.
It is showing as UAE7002 which is similar to the flight number used by the replacement aircraft (UAE7001) flown into Gatwick at 7am this morning.
I wonder what had happened to her?

Perhaps it's not all it's cracked up to be?
It's good that Gatwick's new owners appear to be having a very positive effect on the airport

I'm sure that's true but it still requires the owners to make the right decisions & it sounds like Gatwick is on the right track which is great news.
I've long thought that Gatwick has much to offer but was held back during its BAA days, the poor cousin to Heathrow. Whilst it will continue to live in the shadow of Heathrow whilst many airlines decide Heathrow is the be all & end all for them, at least Gatwick now has its own, very positive & strong voice.
