The runway extension has been approved after so objections, and the work is meant to start in 2019 for completion in 2020 so it can handle the A380, but on current plans there is only 1-A380 compatible gate. With only 1-A380- gate BA/Emirates will have to adjust their schedules, as in the Northern Winter BA arrives around 11:00 and Emirates at 11:30 and in the evening Emirates departs at 18:00 and 20:00, and BA at 17:30
