That would make the most sense. The point of the A380 was to reduce congestion at large hub airports by flying a large load of pax. As a cargo jet, it can be used on high volume routes, especially with a restricted number of solts. But if you ask me, since the A380 needs twice the separation as anything else in the air for wake turbulence (10 miles instead of 5), the A380 should require 2 slots to land...
