It reportedly requires an "official escort" of operational vehicles every time it taxis...
Ah, so that's what the escort of police-like vehicles was. Makes sense now. For a few moments I thought there may have been a police-related issue onboard as we arrived into LAX, but a closer look at the vehicle revealed they had 'LAX' signage.
Must be a real cozy job just sitting in a car and watching the A380 taxi to its gate.... donut and coffee in-hand. Here's a shot of one of the 'operationa escort vehicle's.
