There have been a few people talking about this in different threads... Also give it at least a month or more... You can hardly give an accurate future comment on vaus... Pure speculation otherwise

I'm enjoying it! Nice to be flying after a long time in the sim. The hotel in LA is nice and the aeroplane is great. The company is working hard to deliver a good product and working environment.

I can't directly answer your qn, suffice to say it is about 3 times a week with one aircraft full time. Goes daily as more aircraft arrive. The reason you have seen 'it' sitting around in various places, is that there is now more than one that has been delivered. The second one did LA yesterday so you probably saw VH-VOZ sitting around.

Bootstrap1 "IT" could be one of a couple or three on turn around. You should open you eyes and realize that EK SQ and others have A/C that spend several hours sitting on the ground. Suppose a conspiracy would be more enticing to you though.

Jerusalem, Honiara and Kalumburu?
Wal your observations re EK & SQ may be correct, but the difference is they don't have HALF their fleet sitting on the ground!

advertising $1799 to London via LA the other day.
Until recently you were struggling to get just to LA for that!
About time you didn't have to pay more to get to LA than Europe.

Sorry about thread drift but I wonder why Vaus isn't doing the HKG flights instead of Vatlantic?
I would of thought that would of been a nice earner for them. Certainly need the cash at the moment.

My understanding is that Virgin Atlantic is 49% SQ owned so not going to be swapping profitable routes any time soon. It is also the reason the brand is V Australia, not Virgin Australia.
I get it!
Mullah....
I get it!!! I am with Hughes on this one.....the cost of parking aircraft in Aus international airports is one of the highest in the Southern Hemisphere if not the world (I have seen factual numbers on this). In fact an operator a few years back was nearing the curfew and because of the massive expense in parking it overnight in Sydney the company decided to fly it to NZ for the night (after dropping off the pax obviously).
So I agree.....it must be costing an absolute fortune in parking their fleet.

Let me have a wild stab at this one..................
Maybe because they only have two aircraft which are already committed to daily LA's, along with the 3rd and 4th which are committed to Brisbane and Melbourne to LA.
