The new longer runway is under construction, and is not ready for the A380.
As was seen with the cement mixer, work is still being done. But, it was a
pretty empty airplane, and had plenty of room for landing on 24R. I think
they said there were only 8 passengers on board, and it didn't have an
interior installed yet. Dale can probably give you more info on the
runways.

Strange, why was the A-380 assigned to RW 24R the shortest RW in LAX???
