Obviously I read through the 400 page Airbus A380 aircraft characteristics manual first and found nothing about this specific question. I thought there was bound to be an airbus mechanic on here and there was. If he was wrong some other person would contradict him.

Do you have an email contact of a person in Airbus that I can ask or do you suggest that I should just ring up the secretary in the Airbus main office in Toulouse and ask her to put me through to the person who knows the answer?

I would suggest the folks over at Quovadis.
They are a subsidiary of Airbus, and are the Procedure Designers for Airbus.
The head of ops is Don-Jacques Ould-Ferhat.
Expect runway width wide enough for the outboard engines, and about a max 2.8 GPA.

Thank you once again Kwateow.
I got a reply by email this morning and if you all are interested it is 5.95m (19.5 ft).
So the standard ICAO Pan-Ops value of 8m for large aircraft will cover it.
I knew it was worthwhile to post on PPrune.
