On landing at SYD yesterday morning at 0900, there were three visible A380s on the Int side of the airfield - one EK, one SQ and one QF.

That got me thinking and hunting (I'm still excited by the sight of an A380 by the way!) to find that there are only 2 (or maybe 3, if the Air France plane is in Paris at the same time as the EK and SQ ones) places in the world, based on current routes and operators, that it is possible to see 3 out of the current 4 airlines operating A380s in one place. And nowhere to see all 4 in one place.

Can someone confirm?

I've obviously got too much time on my hands this evening....:mrgreen::mrgreen:
 
I presume LHR is the other place you're talking about? Although with the different terminals and large spaces between them, I doubt you'd see them close to side-by-side.

I think LAX and LHR will become the big A380 hubs.

Mal,

I was thinking of LHR - I thought that QF, SQ and EK operated out of T3 for the moment? So I had imagined that the three could be seen, if not side by side, then more or less in the same place.
