Both Scurrah (when he was around) and Hrdlicka have indicated over the past year a desire to eventually return to some long-haul operations (probably just LAX and HND) but they believed international would come back slowly which has turned out to be correct.

The 77Ws went back to their mortgagors as part of administration whilst the A332s were returned to lessors. The 77W was too big for VA's needs and they have indicated that something like the 789 would probably be more suitable for their requirements in future particularly as it would be flexible to do both HND and LAX.

Do I believe that VA will return to long-haul? I don't know. It certainly isn't the most important thing they should address with getting their core domestic franchise profitable being where they need to concentrate their minds once state borders reliably reopen.
