MH have one A330F already on lease to TK, having passed through IST twice this week there is no way that an A380 could operate through IST the taxiways are too tight for the A380. they will not operate them to SAW as IST not SAW is their hub.

From the leeham article cited above "The disposal of all six A380s presents an opportunity to test the market for used A380s and whether a key component to Airbus’ strategy for the super jumbo going forward will work: allow airlines to try out the airplane without having to spent the huge amount of money required to buy new. After experiencing the A380, the theory goes, other carriers will understand how this can spur sales."
I would think the sale of these would suppress the demand for new aircraft by 6 ea. Mr. Leahy has stated that he thinks that he "may" be able to sell 30 A380's this year...wonder if he has revised his forecasted sales projection downward??

I believe they do have a new airport in planning/construction though. THIS is what is being build at this time. Four (or maybe six) runways, all taxiways double (as in up and down), four terminals. Once fase one is completed, TK can truly handle the A380.
