                      A380-800's original configuration carried 555 passengers in a three-class configuration (First Class, Business Class, and Economy Class)or 853 passengers (538 on the main deck and 315 on the upper deck) in a single-class economy configuration.

                        That means CMB gate A9 could accommodate A380?

                          Yeah, even most of us spotters were shocked to see it taxi back to A9 , but I doubt that an A330 can park on A8 next to the A380 (if it uses A9 or so). The Saudia 777-300 was on A7.
