I checked. You're right. I stand corrected. Airports need only minor
landing strip modifications (relocation of lights, etc.) to
accommodate the 380.

The plane is still built by the perfidious Frence, though.


Runways are only part of the of the requirement.

Concourse, boarding gates, baggage handling, etc require serious
upgrades in order to handle the increased passenger load carried by
the 380.

Having had opportunity to travel 747s in economy and gettting to
disembark through the rear doors was a revelation. It goes SOOO much
faster than when everyone has to go through that 1 small door like with a
737, 757, or other Boeing except the 747.

Wouldn't it be worthwhile having better facilities to board and deplane,
and be on time for a change?

Our trip to Disney from Stewart Airport using JetBlue was great! There
are only about 7 or 8 gates, parking was $40 for 5 days, and there were
no traffic jams at the airport.
