380 to GLA
 
The 380 did a 1 off to MRU then it became an A380 destination, looks like the Apr 10th A380 to GLA might be a similar airport check for the aircraft.

Is Birmingham (BHX) big enough for an A380?

BHX A380
 
Yes
It did a sector a couple of years ago to celebrate the New EK lounge and the dedicated EK gate.
Glasgow is well behind the times on this (their lounge is still not open) but it might get an A380 or a third daily flight before BHX so who knows?

Parking will the biggest issue at Glasgow for the 380 due to its wing span. The default stand for EK is 30 and the 77W just fits with no 'overhang'.

The slightly larger wingspan of the 380 will be the issue with the room available for left wing being the most limiting. There is perhaps a little more 'give' to the right, so perhaps it could be marshalled on using a separate 380 only yellow centreline.

But then you have just the one jetty which raises its own issues! :}

Perhaps Qantass could trim a little off the left wing for you guys... :ugh:
