May 1, 2005 at 4:33 pm in reply to: BA and the Airbus 380. (Merged) #710035

We recently had a long debate about this matter on the forum, I will try and think of the topic and find you the link. Basically the A380 doesn’t currently fit with BA’s business strategy. The airline has focused on premium traffic, both for short and long haul, and this means that they have moved further from connecting low-yield traffic which typically fills the back end seats of large long haul aircraft. The use of 777s and (to some extent on high demand long haul routes) the 747s allows the airline to maximise premium seating and offer less economy seating. In order to fill the A380 the airline would have to fit more economy seats and to fill these would need to have more connecting traffic, which simply isn’t the primary business model for the airline at the moment.

Is there not a MORE appropriate place on this forum for all these nice miltary aircraft that seem to have strayed into Commercial Aviation???

Will that be before or after the cows come home? :D:D:D

Well it won’t be for a long time granted, but doesn’t mean plans aren’t afoot already. These things take lots of planning.

Peel Airports Ltd made a statement that DSA (Robin Hood) was the only airport in the North that could handle the A380, there was no comparison with Gatwick. However it is widely acknowledged that MAN and PIK can also handle the type in terms of runway length and I believe MAN is ready to handle the aircraft in terms of load bearing weight on the runway aswell. It was a mistaken statement and is not true. Just to put all your minds at rest LOL.

Wrong!!!!!! London City was opened in 1987, Stansted was open then, so Stansted is not the second-newest airport in the UK.

As I mentioned earlier, many industry people refer to Stansted being opened in 1991 whent he new terminal was opened because it was pretty dead up until this point.

Oh, I guess it’s public info as they had to gain Planning Permission anyway. 7 new stands, including stands suitable for the A346 and 773 due to their length.

Nothing exciting really anyway.

Just as Mark said, that’s why you should avoid Sky News!

Stansted opening in 1996?! Ha ha, it was even taking passengers back in the 50’s and 60’s. Then the new terminal came in the early 90’s…

Stansted was opened by the USAF in 1942, the new terminal as we know it was opened in 1991. However most people consider that the airport was ‘re-opened’ at this time as this is when the airport REALLY became a major facility serving London.
