The superjumbo flew from France, where the manufacturer is based, to the
terminal, which is scheduled to open next Thursday. The jet will head to New
Chitose Airport serving Sapporo, Hokkaido, on Sunday.
During the stopover, various checks will be conducted, including whether the
airport's passenger boarding bridges fit the double-decker wide-body plane's
doors.
The jets are often too big for a taxiway and the number of airports that can
accommodate them is limited. They also generate major wake turbulence when
they depart and force succeeding planes to wait longer than usual before
taking off.
Haneda is not accommodating A380 on the grounds that they could significantly
affect other passenger flights during its crowded daytime operating hours.
But they could be accommodated late at night and in the early morning when
the traffic volume is low, according to airport authorities.
They have been flying to Narita International Airport near Tokyo since 2008
on flights by operators including Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa.
