Emirates denies A380 'crisis meeting'

[NM]

from news.com.au:

Emirates said it still has confidence in the Airbus A380 superjumbo despite some concerns about its reliability.

The carrier was responding to questions about a report in German magazine Der Spiegel that said Emirates took a 46-page set of slides to what the publication called a "crisis meeting" between the two companies outlining maintenance problems with the aircraft.

I wonder how much effect the modifications required to fit a shower and carry 500Kg of water has on the plane...

My mum flew in J on the A380 DXB-SYD a few weeks ago and thought it was awful...

Ooh... Juicy gossip! Care to elaborate, Simon?

She thought the staff were completely unfamiliar with the set up, the seats were too narrow (and she is a petite person) and the service generally was average - they brought her sausage and eggs for breakfast - not she chooses the vegetarian special meal... She wont pay to fly in J on EK again

My dad flew in whY yesterday (mum came over earlier due to the baby problems and could only get in J at short notice) and was pretty happy with the product although the sound on the IFE ket dieing during the movies.
