New Delhi:Most international airlines flying the A-380 might keep them away from India because the airports in the country are not ready to receive them yet. It would take the Indian airports several years to develop the infrastructure needed to handle the A-380s.
The A380 is three metres longer and 15 metres wider than the Boeing 747, the biggest plane Indian airports handle right now.
This means that the runways, parking bays, taxiways, and terminal buildings would need to be bigger and better to handle the A-380s.
Even Delhi's international airport would not be getting the A-380 before 2010.
Airports across the world have already started preparing for the A-380, even before its first flight last year. Around 60 international airports have upgraded their facilities to handle the plane.
