the A320 planes are on wet lease from Aer Lingus...they are not even owned by Virgin!!! So are passengers tricked?!
In what way? Many new services start like this. It is the fastest way to get into the air and start earning money - to pay for new (or used) machines. Those machines will likely be owned by a leasing company and painted with Virgin artwork. In the same way that EI planes are not all owned by them, or that many people do not own their own home - the mortgage holder does.
