It is expected the A380 will be spending a week in ADD for a high altitude flight testing. It seems Addis Abeba and its Bole International Airport were chosen as the test site for the local altitude of 2,500 meters above sea level, a flight and landing circumstance not available in previous test locations. The target period is mid-October and they are negotiating with the Ethiopian CAA for permit.
