330's

Wycombe

Per other forums the problem with the EK A330's and I don't whether there is a grain of truth in this (pun intended) surrounds the position of their base over the last 13 years i.e. sand and salt issues (beach location with winds).

I am no expert and haven't got a clue if this is anywhere near the truth but again if you believe what you read Virgin Australia at times have not been happy with their ex EK A330's. Again nothing to back that up other than what has been taken from various forums.

I have seen this type of explanation given before for other airliners based near the sea where high winds occur and not just EK.
