I made my comment based on your typo. Rather than argue semantics, which is completely unproductive, let's try to stay focused on substantive issues; namely should EL AL get the A380 and under what circumstances.

If so, I question why Airbus so desires the A380 in LY livery over anything else, such as getting more orders for the A380, getting any US airlines interested in the A380, etc. etc.
Rather than argue semantics, why not just read the article I posted the link for in my previous response. To make it easier for you so that you do not need to scroll up, I will repost the link here: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/...52612947594688

So, by your logic one can't call the A380 Airbus's flagship because in a few years the A350 will be the flagship?

But Airbus does care about EL AL, so much so that it is/was in a dogfight with Boeing to secure orders from EL AL. Heck even the title of the article I gave you the link for is: "Boeing, Airbus in Dogfight Over El Al "

No shakshuka today. When I asked why, they said that it's only served on Sundays and Mondays as those are the busiest days. Why that logic should make sense I don't know but it is ElAl

And in English -
It doesn't say in the header "E" as in the Hebrew, but it is "E" indeed

12 narrow-body slots or 8 wide-body slots, 2 for the A380, and no new shakshuka stand unfortunately

Hope they add a *A lounge, given the # of flights there, hopefully nicer than the DAN.

ELY001 will be happy they are indeed building A380 capable facilities.

Also, of note, on the diagram also shows additions to the terminal building.
