It is about what aircraft model better suits them for the coming years, regarding lots of economic and cost saving reasons.

The A380 only scores with a really full aircraft 500 plus. The 777x scores in a smaller market where not so many passengers are required to make it pay. The argument will go on for ever,who will win this or that-try imagining what airlines will need in 2030/40,then maybe you'll understand their problem. Oh and by then I'm sure China will be in the aircraft manufacturing in a big way.unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604463374712761656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505368605400567122.post-89176897288607706232016-01-16T19:49:18.719+00:002016-01-16T19:49:18.719+00:00Those A380 deposit funds need to go somewhere and ...Those A380 deposit funds need to go somewhere and unless Boeing can make up for the lost deposits, they, VS, are better off buying something else than forfeiting $____ to Airbus.

Once the 777x comes along then unless there is a dramatic upturn in passenger numbers, 4 engines will lose out to two.unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604463374712761656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505368605400567122.post-59398992696890456692016-01-15T09:15:45.903+00:002016-01-15T09:15:45.903+00:00Considering Delta has already ordered A350 and A33...Considering Delta has already ordered A350 and A330neo its a far chance that Virgin will order the A350 as well. Delta owning 49% shares of Virgin. Lets hope so,because after all the bad news for Airbus over Zodiac,its nice to hear of a another possible order.unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15604463374712761656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8505368605400567122.post-40284083219110070992016-01-15T04:10:03.718+00:002016-01-15T04:10:03.718+00:00I believe that this was more of a movement of depo...I believe that this was more of a movement of deposit funds than an order but good for Sir Branson and company.
