also virgin Atlantic has added another 7 off the A330-900S to their orders but the next new A330-900 isn’t meant to arrive until sometime next summer and the rest of them are arriving in 2028

I heard that they ordered the NEO in the first place because of some sort of issue with the 787. Was it the Trent 1000 engine issues that made VA order A330NEOs or was it some other type of issue?

That’s interesting, VA uses rolls Royce regardless as they’re both British companies. I do think there was some issues with the Trent 1000 engine but RR have spent 1 billion fixing the issues across all the Trent engines.

The A330-900 or 800 NEO seems to be very flexible aircraft. It's a good way to compete with Carriers operating the single aisle A321 XLR on long haul routes. I'm guessing Customers would prefer the widebody. It's range is really excellent to at approximately 13,300 km for the 900 or 15,000+ Km for the 800. Delta seems to doing the same with the A330-900 NEO instead of ordering the A321XLR. Delta's ownership of 49% of Virgin Atlantic might have some bearing on their Aircraft decision as well?

I would have like too seen Virgin have B787-10 or A350 900. But they have the alternative aircrafts in same area. A350 900 would have suited them perfectly

The Virgin 787 Upper Class seats were horribly uncomfortable

Could Delta Air Lines take up the leases that Virgin Atlantic has for their Airbus a330 CEO planes? Airbus is having difficulty delivering Airbus a330 NEO’s and Airbus a350 aircraft.

I trust QANTAS is monitoring similar changes closely as a concerned both traveler and shareholder feel such is commercially prudent.

One other thing Virgin Atlantic first got their A350-1000S in 2016 and the XWB version arrived 3 years later but the newest ones are 2 years old and virgin Atlantic has placed a big order for the ultra long range version of both of the A350S this being 900 ultra long range and the 1000 ultra long range the two biggest differences the planes is the seating capacity and the flying range 525 passenger capacity off the 900 ultra long range and the A350-1000 ultra long range seating capacity is 575 passengers both have similar flying range of close to 10 thousand miles

Maybe another airline can take up the Boeing 787 9’s that Virgin Atlantic retires. Latam, American Airlines, British Airways to name a few airlines that would take the Rolls Royce powered Boeing 787.

They have already ordered a lot more of A350-900 ultra long range and the A350-1050 ultra long range again it’s seating capacity and flying range which is why they have placed orders for them the other thing is that virgin Atlantic isn’t going to retire all A330-343S they are keeping some of them until 2028 so off the information in the video isn’t correct
