New headline?
What about "LAX can't handle big planes"?

Bit late to change their mind!
If they didn't want the A380 they could have saved themselves a lot of infrastructure upgrade expenditure. And if they do want it then they should have put in a bit more logistics planning effort.
What is going to happen when more airlines take their A380 to LAX (assuming they won't now change their plans to do so). Hard to believe big planes are a problem in the country that invented upsizing!

It's French, of course it's a problem for America. Bet if it was Boeing it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Especially as a 747-400 takes up the same amount of space, and has similar issues with blocking the ILS signal when it passes the transmitter...!

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.

THREE airlines are flying A380s into Heathow and Sydney will join that club on Monday when Emirates joins Singapore Airlines and QANTAS.
And A380s are apparently flying into several other airports without any problems so perhaps the fault lies with the LAX administrators. |
