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 ). http://com.airbus-fenice.customers.a...ty_network.pdf |
I would like to see it land at Manston, have you not heard it is closed and very unlikely to ever reopen.

Off on a wet lease to TCX Scandinavia for a one off flight for them. Positioned today.

Hi-fly A380 on its way from Copenhagen to Larnaca. Callsign Viking 1102 |
Norwegian are getting as from tomorrow to operate Gatwick to New York for the next 3 weeks. |
Will the timings fit round the EK flights as I think LGW has only got one A380 stand but I could be wrong |
there are presumably enough Remote areas that could be used if needed rather than dedicated hard stands |
Apparently the Hi-fly A380 will be operating for Air Austral after Norwegian ops.. seems it is going to be busy.. |

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.

All doesn't seem well with 9H-WIP at present, today's JFK-LGW seems to have picked up 24h delay.
Might be nothing to do with the bird itself, of course...(source, FR24 + Norwegian's website). 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 |
The airframe is incurring massive delays at JFK, as the airport has run out of A380 stands during the time it is scheduled to arrive.

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) |

It appears to have just departed LGW (2134L) on it's way to JFK.

So no 24-hour delay. |
