The 380 does not handle turbulence well.

The 380 wings are oversized for its size because they expected to build a larger variant without having to redesign the wings. As a result they pick up more turbulence and their gust suppression technology isn’t as good as the 787’s imo. Flying back from Japan during winter, the experience was horrible. Did it twice and each time it was terrifying.

It doesn’t handle muslim pilots well either.

No airliner handles turbulence well.

That’s why all airline pilots use the weather radars and reports from other pilots to avoid turbulence.
