A quick summary on Heathrow airport latest news;
Qatar airways first inaugural flight to Heathrow is set to be on 1st August. Doha – London Heathrow QR003 DOH0755 – 1315LHR 388 D QR004 LHR1505 – 2350DOH 388 D
British airways will start a NEW A380 route to Washington Dulles from 2nd October, marking the airlines 4th new A380 route after Johannesburg. BA217 LHR0940 – 1240IAD 388 D BA216 IAD1830 – 0640+1LHR 388 D (Flight will operate 5x week expect on days x23. Planned Daily A380 service on BA217/216 from 26OCT14)
In addition to that, British Airways will also start another NEW A380 route to singapore from end of October London Heathrow – Singapore NEW 3 weekly A380 service from 28OCT14 BA011 LHR1920 – 1555+1SIN 388 246 BA012 SIN2310 – 0450+1LHR 388 357 (BA011/012 A380 service to increase to daily from 09FEB15)
Etihad airways first A380 inaugural flight will be to Heathrow on the December 27th EY011 AUH0235 - 0635LHR 388 D EY012 LHR0915 - 2005AUH 388 D
Now my question is, when is Thai due it's A380 to London? As far as I'm aware, Thai airways was set to bring the A380 last year in December I believe. As the "Media" reported, is was something got to do with the wing cracks? But honestly speaking, according to Thai airways station manger in LHR he mentioned to me "TG loads between LHR-BKK are very low most of the time, Even Eva Air are doing so much better than us. They are always over sold on there flights" Looks like Thai are losing everything now? Eva Air now have taken over!
And lastly, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines A380. Any chance seeing them in LHR? It would be a challenge for both KE and OZ A380 to fly from LHR-ICN!

I completely forgot about this Thread I made! A quick update; Etihad will commence there second A380 service to LHR on EY17/EY18 from 1st May 2015 Thai will introduce there first A380 service to LHR from BKK. Operating daily from 1st July 2015 www.traveldailymedia.com/217878/thai-sets-london-a380-date/Qatar will commence there second A380 service to LHR on QR1/QR2 from 1st July 2015 www.businesstraveller.com/news/101579/qatar-airways-moves-forward-second-lhr-a380Etihad will commence there third A380 service to LHR on EY19/EY20 from 1st August 2015 British Airways will commence there new A380 route to MIA this year from October 25 2015. Initially BA had planned a double daily to MIA but due to a last minute change it will operate daily. airlineroute.net/2015/03/26/ba-mia-w15update2/ So that's 5 more A380 flights been added to LHR. Truly becoming an A380 hub after Dubai. So this is what it should look like by end of this year; SQ 3x EK 5x QF 2x MH 2x BA 11x BA should have 11 A380s in service? QR x2 EY x3 TG x1

Terminal 5B doesn't have 3 airbridges. Some stands only have 2 airbridges. Now as we know, every A380 aircraft has to be used up to 3 airbridges. 2 on Lower decks and the other upper deck.
