The two major airports involved in the India/Europe trade (Heathrow and
Bombay) are already committed to a 'double decker' type bridge suitable for
the A380.
The major problem at Bombay is the level of flights with international
flights already being challenged for slots.
There are no more slots there, the only solution is bigger aircraft.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
