Virgin Aircraft in storage

[Dan Air 87]

I gather that the new A330 G-VINE is being stored at Lourdes airport with a pair of A340-600's. My only question is why???

For onward lease to China Airlines. VS did not plan to use the aircraft this year only G-VSXY and G-VKSS, which are now in service.

2012 at the earliest before further A330s will be delivered for Virgin's use.

The stored A340-600s were returned to service.
