Moscow Airport to Build Parking Place for Airbus A380

Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow intends to equip a parking area for the largest passenger aircraft in the world – Airbus A380...although no one is going to fly to Russia by this plane in the nearest future http://www.russia-ic.com/news/show/4985/

I wonder which route out of Moscow would justify an A380 in the near future.

Anyway, nice move from Russian authorities.

Moscow-JFK
Moscow-Washington
Moscow-Tokyo
Moscow-Peking
Moscow-Hong Kong
Moscow-sydney

The possibilities are various.

Also, the possibility to have Moscow as an alternate is great for airlines doing the trans-eurasian routes.

I think flying SVO-SYD with an A380 may be a touch adventourous, given that no one has ever flown this route to my knowledge. I hope someone does give it a go because my family regularly flies between these cities and finding good connections & cheap fares is very hard. Never mind the A380, an A350 or IL96 will do just fine.

I think SVO-BKK would be the most likely route to get a regular A380 service.

Cheers

Maybe this parking space will be reserved for A380 VIP. Or, potentially, there will be an a380 order by Aeroflot in the near future?

Maybe for VIP or charters. SU doens't have any 747's or even 777's so an A380 is a big step up.

Emirates uses Domodedovo so it's not them.
