I need to find out if the following flights operated on Sunday 9/1, and if so which aircraft were used (Virgin have stranded my boss in Orlando, he thinks they had a light load and pulled a flight but can’t prove it.. yet)
Manchester
VS075 MAN/Orlando
VS076 Orlando/MAN
VS015 LGW/Orlando
VS016 Orlando/LGW
VS027 LGW/Orlando
VS028 Orlando/LGW
If anyone can shed any light on this or suggest where to look, I would be grateful.
Thanks
Aggy

Why doesn’t your boss just phone up Virgin?

As people have said airlines simply don’t pull flights because of light loads.
1. there is the possibility that the aircraft would have been operating a full load back from where it was meant to be flying to.
2. i have seen a low cost airline operate a 737 yesterday with only 35 pax on, a charter airline operate a 757 with only 17 on so, proves that lights loads don’t lead to canx flights.

As far as I can tell:
09/01
G-VAST operated VIR75 to MCO
G-VTOP operated VIR27 to MCO
VIR15 didn’t operate, last noted operating on 12/12/10.
Airlines don’t pull flights because of light loads, with the weather problems in the States, I’m sure VS have a couple of stuck aircraft somewhere and it’s causing quite a few problems!

Do airlines pull flights for ‘light loads’ ? I assumed that providing there was passengers, flights went ahead regardless.
