I mentioned last month that we now have two air carriers bringing Airbus 380s into LAX: Qantas and Singapore. We're expecting Korean to be the next carrier to bring them in, starting in October. Meanwhile, here's an A380 comparison, courtesy of the LA Times:
LA Times: Comparing airlines' Airbus A380s
In a recent comment, a question was asked about why the A380 doesn't depart from runway 25 right. The answer is because it won't fit: There's not sufficient clearance between runway 25R/7L and taxiway Bravo. We can taxi an A380 on that runway, but it can't be used for arrivals or departures. For those of you playing along at home, here's our latest A380 restrictions guide, fresh from the briefing binder:
Ratz! That chart won't enlarge either. What's going on?
ReplyDeleteGreat fun and thank you. Is it possible to re-do the airport plot such t hat it can be enclarged - and read. Even with with a 24" monitor, I cannot read the notes. Thanks.
ReplyDelete-C.
Ah, that's better. Now it looks like some sort of complex board game. I'm glad you people can figure it out.
ReplyDeleteSorry about that guys; I'm not sure why it's doing that - It worked fine when I first posted it (I think).

I have not had any problems enlarging anything at anytime.
ReplyDeleteAh Thanks for clearing it up wondered why i never saw a A380 take off from 25R whe i say watching i mean on LAX Live Webcam....
ReplyDeleteP.S Great Blog
The A380 is a BIG ship- was taxiing on Charlie in an RJ last week while one was being towed next to us on Bravo- it was a great size comparison to see it from that perspective.
ReplyDeleteThat works MUCH better, thanks!
