VS A380 delayed until 2008 (rumour)?

From http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread ... did=129999

quote:Virgin Atlantic have pushed back delivery of the A380 by 18 months, original delivery was supposed to have been summer 2006 now it will be early 2008. Virgin have said the reasons behind the decision to delay is that the airport infastructure on the routes to be flown could not match delivery schedules.
Virgin have also mentioned that "other interim" aircraft are being looked at. Looks as if the 777 may happen.

Anyone know anything more concrete?
