I suppose being ready for these aircraft to come in could expand companies willingness to fly in.. but they just seem like overkill for a relatively small city.
Nevertheless I will likely embarrass my girlfriend when I drag her to see the a380's arrival/departure. I am going to be like a giddy little school girl.

These airlines own the 380-
- Singapore Airlines
- Emirates
- Qantas
- Air France
- Lufthansa
- Korean Air
- China Southern Airlines
- Malaysia Airlines
- Thai Airways International (THAI)
- British Airways
The only airline that owns a 380 and flies into Calgary is British Airways. I can't see them using a 380 here, just not enough demand.
I think it will be a long time before we see a 380 at YYC.
