Hi PFR,
I'm not sure.
All I know is that Airbus haven't been able to finish the aircraft (although they're now undergoing tests) in the time scale origionally given to bmi.
BTW, It's thought that for a couple of weeks before their 1st Transatlantic crossing, the a/c will be used on some of the LHR-MAN flights for the final stages of pilot training.
Jamie.
