virgin will not ever likely take the A380 nor its variants (if were built)
the new CEO craig has already said as much that its 6 options already deferred since from 2004 until 2018 will be cancelled outright or could be changed to a330neos or a350 order
but as it stands the 6 options are still in situ for the a380 with a 2018 decision time
twins and fuel eco are the way to go with VS
VS ordered 15 of the 787-9 - with options on ordering another eight 787-9s and purchase rights on a further 20 aircraft. for quick delivery which will see all the a340's and LHR 747's gone.
the 777x is being mooted as is the -10 version of the 787
the leisure 747's are a niche fleet at LGW and the outstations for a few more years yet but it's mooted the whole holiday fleet and those routes may get sold off to a buyer if found such as a tour operator so to concentrate on the Delta tie-up and the USA expansion
