Do Virgin have any A380s on order ?

And if so does anyone know their proposed route, I'd love to travel on one.

Yes they do,though not any of the early delivery slots,nobody know's the routes yet,though you can figure on them being the high demand routes such as JFK.

Thats a multi million $ question. From the first 45 delivery slots, the answer is no. Inside money is on never seeing an A380 in VS colours!!!!!

Well, if they'd canceled their order I'm certain the news would be out by now. That said, if there are further delays, who knows what will happen.

There was a thing on the news last week about problems with wiring - different airlines like different colours / have different requirements or something. On the news it was reported one airline is threatening to cancel its order. I'm sure lawyers on both sides are doing an awful lot of analysis of the six gazillion page contracts to see if there is a get out clause / penalty.

Actually, I should have noted that this thread discusses the delay and provides a news link.

To keep discussion focused in one thread I will lock this one and ask everyone to refer to the above thread.

Thanks everyone.
