Not too sure- 343s are very sort after at the moment. AY, LX to mention two are gagging to get their hands on some spare ones. Id imagine the leasing company will put them with the airline that will offer the best deal for them. But as the leases arent up for a while they will be with VS for a bit longer I feel.

Flying LHR-DEL quite a bit at the moment and it is already A346 operated. Not sure if this is a winter (peak holiday season) move only though.

Just to add to the discussion, I know that on any given day there seems to be an A343 up at Nottingham for crew training. I have no idea how often one is up there, but it still decreases the probability of having one on your flight.

ANY aircraft is very sought after at the moment, many airlines have been caught with their pants down after the A380 delays (for example EK are after an extra 6 B777-300ER's ASAP).
