No surprise that VS did not want to be part of this plan. The Group now have their own cruise line and we may imagine that - wherever possible - pax are on their own airline. Also, now that Delta owns VS, they seem to want all VS craft to be directed to feed into the USA, not feeding another company's boats.
I sit to be corrected.
Re VS - I read just a day ago that
VS are leasing out to THAI 2 x A330-300 later in the year G-VGBR & G-VNYC
Just wondered why they could not nicely have taken on the long-haul charters for P&O, and for others for next winter >?
Just a thought.....
Edit: it is possible that this pair are being withdrawn WFU from Virgin
and this may not be a sublease.....
