Virgin Atlantic confirms A330 order; dumps A340
http://www.jetphotos.net/spacer-white.gif Virgin Atlantic (London) confirmed that it will firm up orders for six new A330-300 aircraft with Airbus, and sign a contract to lease four more, but this appears to be at a cost to their carrier’s A340 orders. Initially deferred, it appears that Virgin Atlantic has moved to drop the six A340s entirely. “We don’t have any more A340s on order,” said a spokesperson for Virgin Atlantic. “The A330s are more fuel efficient and are more suitable for us for our route development.” The new A330-300 long-range aircraft from Airbus will be flown by Virgin Atlantic in a three-class configuration.
