Re: Virgin Blue
I managed to have a look and take some photos. Nice as interior and will certainly give Qantas a run for their money.

Re: Virgin Blue
Not really, that livery has about as much character as a flat battery
Re: Virgin Blue
I think I know what you mean. No doubt in time I'll get used to it, and it possibly looks better in the flesh than on a news site, but I will miss the VB livery.AO11912 wrote:Not really, that livery has about as much character as a flat battery

Re: Virgin Blue
They are... Because it was such a rush to put the aircraft into service it was decided to keep the 2-3-2 in business class for the time being until the new production models come on line.AO11912 wrote:http://a330-virtual-tour.virginblue.com.au/

However, I doubt most punters will complain. Hell of a lot more spacious than what QF offer on their domestic product

No because Virgin owns them, and will be using them on the east coast before wet leasing them to Skywest
A wet lease is a leasing arrangement whereby one airline (lessor(Virgin)) provides an aircraft, complete crew, maintenance, and insurance (ACMI) to another airline (lessee(Skywest)), which pays by hours operated. The lessee (skywest) provides fuel and covers airport fees, and any other duties, taxes, etc. The flight uses the flight number of the lessee(Skywest).

Re: Virgin Australia
Note quite true AO11912. The commercial agreement between Virgin & Skywest sees the ATR72's belong/owned by Skywest and wet leased to Virgin Australia.AO11912 wrote:

However, there may be ATR72's flying in Skywest's own livery before we know it?
