I don't think it's a big issue, there are well over 200 approved diversion airfields for the big whale.
Manston, Doncaster, Stansted, Glasgow, Dublin, Shannon and Brussels are all compatible and approved by Airbus as A380 alternatives and which are closer than Madrid, for example. BA have already used Shannon ( G-XLEA ).

Heard of romanian cabin crew hired but dropped them after keeping people on hold for 3 months, bad for their pr and bad for people who want to work for them. I guess 380 made them lose the basics of fair employment practices. Just like another joint in the neighborhood Euro-Atlantic.

might be easier to screw up just one full days of pax flights rather than keep roll over delays day after day costing ££££££ for the compensation meals hotac etc etc
Ummm did no one think to ask the parking attendants at JFK first ? you cannot make this up surely (read ask apron control and the handling agents)
LGW's website is still showing this evening's departure as scheduled. It's hard to believe that Norwegian are planning for it to sit on the ground at JFK for 24 hours plus.
