A380 to land in London's Heathrow on Thursday 18 May

Post by Captain »

I heard on the radio that the A380 will be landing at LHR to carry out tests and to see how well the airport is prepared.

LHR is going to be one of the first airports to handle the A380 when it's finished being certified. It will handle flights from Singapore Airlines. It will probably be the most used A380 airport with flights from SIA, Emirates, Virgin Atlantic and other A380 customers. Though Dubai airport looks like it may also be a havily used A380 airport.

Does anyone have any more news on this story i.e what time the plane will land, how many days it will be in London?
