What a pile of horse manure for everyone else operating at the airport and especially the air traffic controllers! >> Your friend was absolutely right about this. The master plans, even Hahn's hairbrained scheme, all call for every runway to be lengthened to 12,000 feet. Being that LAX is at sea level, that should give plenty of length for the A380. The fact that the north runways are narrow is a problem, and also the fact that the west gates will take the area of the remote stands (though they could be built to be A380 gates) is an issue. Then again, Hahn could try to send some of that A380 traffic to ONT (not that it will EVER happen) where they have plenty of room LMAO. Then again, the FIS would have to be expanded
