just found out that VA have been approved to launch their flights.
I am so happy for those who have worked to try and get VA flying especially the legal team i think that they all deserve a drink. Mid summer launch sounds good. here is the link on the VA site.Link
just got one question. Why do they need a Waiver to sell tickets?

It is a happy day today, I can't wait until VX starts. I'm guessing the waiver is because Virgin hasn't passed safety tests yet?

Oh yeah, and the names they picked for the 8 aircraft are terrible.

I agree with Nick about VX's aircraft names. Lessons in creativity definitely required from Crawley...:D

Great news to hear that VX have the final go-ahead...[y]
