1st year of ops saw A340-3 for the summer, 763 for the winter and then summer-only A340-3 for the next 3 years or so before 742s became regular. Resumption of the winter service occurred about 2 years ago.

They didn’t have any A340’s then ? We are talking the mid 90’s here with the B767-300 i think ?

Confirming what Graham said, the 763 operated for the 1st winter only (any reference in VS publicity about how they now operate year-round should be regarded as bull****). 4 engines 4 long-haul anyone?

Operated the MAN-MCO route during the winter after it first started on the A340-300.
Think it only lasted for about a year

Off the top of my head i think it operated out of MAN doing mainly the MCO run. Again off the top of my head it was only there for two summer season.
