• Welcoming the A380

2006 witnessed the launch of the A380 – an exciting opportunity and a challenge for the airports worldwide that are preparing to welcome the largest commercial aircraft in production today.
Right from the earliest planning stages, airports and ACI provided input to Airbus concerning
important considerations for the aircraft design and the related airport modifications. Airbus met with individual airports to discuss all the airside and landside parameters that would require adaptation – runways, taxiways, airport stands, boarding bridges, terminals and ground handling equipment. ACI also worked regularly to representairport needs at ICAO as the new specifications for Code F were being developed.
The first group of target airports to welcome the A380 has invested heavily in time and resources and will spend an estimated US$2 billion to prepare for the aircraft’s introduction. It has been a truly satisfying experience to see this common effort translated into reality this year as we watched successfully completed test flights at airports around the globe.
