I'd have thought you'd see it.Appears SQ landed before the RWY was closed.
A380 9HGLOBL Landed in Dresden after a long trip from the boneyard with a gear down crossing of the Atlantic in May and the same again on this leg, apparently there were no jacks in the US to do a gear swing…..QF we’re obviously not handing their KLAX assets over! Be interesting to see if she ever enters service as proposed, lots of hurdles to overcome with seating etc
The seating issue may have been overcome by using the China Southern bird which has Sicma seats rather than the original first bird which had the now unusable Koito seats.Certainly the EFW Facilities at Dresden are used by Lufthansa and Emirates for their A380s still? I guess a good a place as any for a gear overhaul and all the other heavy maintenence.
Is the seating issue still a thing? I thought the issue was more of a parts thing with the A380 fleet.
