Unless this changed recently, the A380 requires a 200' wide runway. The US carriers were pushing the FAA to reduce that to 150'. If they do/did pull that off then it totally messes up the taxiway situation when it is operated. I don't have my charts handy but does anyone know if JFK and IAD have 200' wide runways?
