That sounds fairly credible. Wouldn't classify myself as an aviation buff, but another point is that all runways have to meet certain width/clearance requirements set by the aviation governing bodies.
With a wingspan of almost 80 metres, the runways need to be wide enough to fit the plane on for a start.
At the end of the day the A380 is a beast, and an awesome one at that
Megs, what do Emirates pay their crew staff (roughly)?
