You mean an A380 lose 2 tons weight during taxi and accelerating? Amazing, never heard about this. Well, just think about your car, and the gas it uses accelerating. Cruising is fine but when you encounter a lot of trafficlights...... An A380 accelerating from 0 to take-off speed, I'm pretty sure that uses up a lot of fuel. |

You are right but I never imagined it was 2 tons.

See it this way: the engineers made it possible to fuel 2 more tons if needed - there's space for that. You - as the captain- are able to load max. 2 tons more in case you need them. May be, you only order 10 gallons more. Or less  |

Why so many flights? I thought there usually weren't this many? |

If issue is found they need to fix it and re-test

No, a delivery flight would have an EK flight number. |
