BBC: A380 superjumbo flies into Cardiff Airport
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-s...wales-23485174
British Airways' first A380 superjumbo has landed in Cardiff allowing the airport to test its ability to handle an aircraft of that size.
It was the first time the world's largest passenger plane had landed at Cardiff and BA hopes it will prove the airport can cope in the event of a diversion.
BA has a maintenance base at Cardiff Airport, employing hundreds of workers.
While I have no doubt the folks at Cardiff would like to see long haul service, I'm not sure how likely it is to actually happen.
