What Virgin particularly like about the A346 is the cargo volume capacity. Other than that the 773ER is mostly the better aeroplane and makes an ideal 747 replacement.
I heard last week that we have now done a deal with Singapore and are now taking one of their A380’s 6 months earlier and they are having one of our later slots. Sounds like its still on the cards then. It makes you wonder if they might need to introduce the 380 6 months earlier (now early/mid 2008) so it wouldn’t clash with the intro of another type???
That’s an interesting move for SIA to be doing. I didn’t think they would allow one of their coveted jets to be used by another airline on a revenue flight. But, in this day and age, I guess a buck will go a lot further than just words.
