Something else that should be pointed out is that this plane is so big that, like Tom said, many airports will not have runways and facilities capable of handling the A380. So, if for some reason a flight has to be diverted from its intended arrival airport for emergency or other reasons, it could be total chaos.
And a report I saw seems to go against what the French pilots are reporting.
That the plane does not drive/fly like a sports car.
The larger the plane, the harder and slower it is to react to controls.
