Can Melbourne (T3) and Brisbane (Virgin Domestic) accommodate B767s and A330s?

Melbourne can take the B777 so yes. Brisbane can I think but needs adjustments to aerobridges

BNE is capable of handling at least 2-3 767's at any given time. Gate 40 has seen 747's during the 767 Groundings.

But sometimes it's not.

Secondly, just what are these 'accommodations' that have been made, or could the source not provide these? Maybe the author didn't feel the need to follow up on this? To me, anonymous, half-cocked (and often untrue) statements made on web pages and forums such as Pprune just aren't worth wading through.

A few comments here:
- JB is not an idiot and he would have learnt the lesson from QF's a332 ops on cityflyer services and how long it takes to turnaround an a332, the only other option is 767 and it's most likely going to be leased second hand. - significant investment is required to update products, fleet, lounges and so forth in line with their new strategy: 1) where is this money going to come from, and does this explain why their shareprice is so low again (31c) 2) how long will it take for them to generate return on investment? 3) what will this mean for its old image to the leisure market when the new brand is relaunched? 4) what does this mean for its 737, embraer, 777 fleets when a 4th aircraft type is introduced - how will this impact its cost base?

1. JB (and Godfrey when he was around) have made clear you need to spend money to make money 2. I suspect only a few people within VB will known that answer, and even then will be very approximate. It's hard to measure a return on investment of a lounge upgrade since you can't easily measure how many pax are booking higher fare tickets because of the lounge. 3. Depends what the new image is 4. Well costs aren't going to go down, but the thinking would be that the additional cost would be offset by higher revenue generated from new aircraft |

Did I read somewhere here in another thread not long ago that Virgin were thinking of getting rid of the Embraer fleet? If so, is this part of some new strategy (or a costly mistake)?
