As is well known this was an order placed a long time ago with Virgin as the launch customer. They tried to get out of taking these aircraft but I guess they just passed the point of no return and would have had to pay huge sums of money which either Branson has but will not pay and as SIA no longer have $2BILLION in the bank any more thanks to reckless investments by SIA in Virgin and Air New Zealand then the aircraft will arrive after all . Not a news item at all.
