    Haneda Airport does not normally accommodate the SuperJumbo because of the effect on other flights.

    For the first time, the superjumbo Airbus A380, flew from France to Tokyo’s Haneda airport to check, among other things, if the airport’s passenger boarding bridges fit the double-decker wide-body plane’s doors.

    Other Superjumbo problems? Some reasons why they do not and can not land at all airports-

    —Being too big for the runway
    —Generating wake turbulence that requires following planes to delay longer to avoid disruption and tarmac gridlock
    — Requiring taxiways to be shut when it arrives or departs
    — Requiring an official escort whenever it taxis

    Hopefully we will be hearing about how the Superjumbo fared at Haneda today.
