depends on the airport infrastructure, I would imagine ;)
Given how hard Airbus had to work to keep the A380 vaguely within the operational footprint of the 744, I'm struggling to see how they can go stretch without requiring more airport upgrades - which would be distinctly unpopular. And it's hard to see many routes requiring planes of that size - I would have thought VS would only need a few at most.
Crashes on a stretch A380 just wouldn't bear thinking about :(

No, it was A380-900 series. I don't think it is not even 900 passengers by entire A380-900. I wasn't sure which specific information from Airbus will developing in 2010 after A380-900 will first flght test in 2010 or beyond.
