A380 Continues To Pose Challenges For Heathrow
When I first saw the headline, I thought the article would be about too many passengers arriving at overcrowded terminals. The challenges the article discusses is actually quite different... (aviationweek.com) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
bigger planes more traffic will force all airports to revamp , or they will loose , its the natural course of things
The amount of fuel dumped and burned on top London by the queuing flights itself is enough reason to build a third runway or new airport - whatever is that. Hope those crying against these will open their eyes and ears soon!
Birmingham is the obvious solution, there are fairly detailed plans for the airport, it links directly to HS2 and the motorway network, and will be less than an hour from London and within 2 hours drive of something like 40 million people. No other airport in the UK gets close.
And Birmingham wont require a 20 lane tunnel underneath the runway...!
But the government want London, with its hopelessly crowded airspace and massive noise issues, to be the focus of everything. Quite where they expect all of the air traffic to go once the new runway opens i have no idea. They'll be stacking over the Atlantic, before long...!

Birmingham isn't London!
i would love to fly in a a380
i agree with patrick and reid, the a380 was a very comfortable experience...in coach! i flew syd-sin (singapore air)on the upper deck y class and there was a ton of room compared to other long haul aircraft. i had a window seat, and the armrest opened up to reveal an expansive storage area inside the wall. plenty of legroom and the seats were a bit wider than my usual 777 flights.
it was a unique experience and i would choose the 380 any day of the week. im sure singapore's attention to detail and great service played a part in this!

Go sit in a crowded movie theater for 15 hours - probably sitting next to a person who hasn't bathed in days - eat fatty, poor food, sleep sitting bolt upright. Then pretend you are dealing with baggage claim and customs/immigration for an hour or more, then deal with getting a taxi and getting to a hotel.
That's equivalent to flying on an Airbus A380, and less expensive.
Airbus has enhanced the term 'cattle car' with the A380. It looks good in the advertisments but the reality is very different.

Really do's show why Heathrow needs that 3rd runway but may not happen in my lifetime.
