virgin flights are busy busy busy
but they are not making any money
they get rid of NBO route and months before it closes its busy in all classes.
cargo was good but they used 340-300 which has weight issues on the route.
CPT never been all year round, but now SAA has pulled off may see VAA
pick up on that. you never saw many south africans on VAA.
HKG you can never get a seat that easy and for years they could have operated 2 most days. same with JNB and that could have been 747 all the time.
MCO 2 x 747 a day from LGW but now you cannot take your kids out of school
will that route go down the pan except in school hols
SirRB maybe had not had his eyeball on his beloved airline like he used to...
his son and daughter seem not that interested in playing with planes which is a pity although the daughter looked like she was being groomed to
get involved, not sure if that is still on or off.
he is personally cash rich so would he would inject into VAA again before
the accountants got nasty.
i'm not comfy with VAA getting involved in short haul, been there done that more than once and it was costly and did not shine.
i think VAA are facing what BA had to do years ago and it will be painful
