I'm betting that all of the A-380s wind-up in all cargo service. :-)

I've had the same thought from time to time. A pax craft that size will
have niche applications, to be sure, but any broadbased passenger usage
will require extensive reworking of ground facilities. Not so to any
great extent for cargo. Just remote park, gross 'er out, and go!

That's already been happening. Terminal three a London Heathrow has already
been upgraded to take the A380 with double deck docking stations and extra
strong taxiway and parking. Many of the airports on the routes to Asia from
Europe are or are nearly are A380 ready.

It would be a bit problem flying into the US. Its bad enough a 777 load of
passengers trying to get through immigration. By the time a load of A380
passengers got through the vacation would be over and its time to go home:-)
