A380 operators study alternates <"We've defined 'models of fitness' for potential new A380 airport users, advising not only on hard core technical issues like changes to runways and taxiways but also on passenger comfort and boarding/deboarding and the level of investment that an airport needs to spend on attracting A380 operators," says CIMPA. "Changes could involve minor things like additional emergency equipment and providing adequate transport to terminal areas," it adds. "The main problem is that the A380 customers want to offer the best service while the airport has to meet those aspirations with the most efficient investment in infrastructure and equipment," says CIMPA. It adds that while there are established major airports that are gearing up to handle the A380 "there are others who would like to take the A380 and more who have not considered the option but could be designated as an alternate".> <Although it is the responsibility of A380 operators to decide which secondary airports they need to have available for diversions, Airbus says it is "working very closely with the airlines" on the issue. The manufacturer says any alternates capable of accepting Boeing 747s, 777-300ERs or A340-600s "can be used for A380 diversions".> ------------------ What is the joint picture of Dabolim+Mopa in this regard?
