There is a dispute about the prospect on a.net about this but most seem to love A vs. B bashing so I though i’d bring it here for some interlectual debate.
I reckon VS will go for the A350 in the long run, after lengthy debate between the B787, I believe it is a matter of when, not if, and we wont see any options until both birds are in the air,
The A346 thing – would VS get rid of it, well I was thinking about it, getting rid of fairly new planes would be stupid i thought at first, but if VS continue on a rapid rate of growth, perhaps they could order the B748 to replace the B744s and bump up A346 route to that or down to the A350 – should they get it, gradually ditching the A346s – or maybe even Virgin Capital, they could lease them out, wouldnt put it past SRB,
Wozza
I just read that thread and had a good laugh as they seem to think they know what each airline is going to do as far as acquisition is concerned. A.net is always good for a good laugh!
As for the rumour of VS getting the A350, anything is possible but I don’t see it happening for a few more years as most of their fleet is fairly new with only the 744 needing to be replaced in the future and even then, I don’t see that happening for a long time. Maybe in five to ten years is when we can expect VS to introduce a new type to their fleet aside from the A388.
But like I said, anything is possible! Irwan 🙂
