VA MAX8 Arrivals

[MarkR]

Virgin noted the new deliveries in their profit update today:

7 to be delivered during FY24. A further 25 Boeing 737-10 aircraft planned for delivery from FY25

Those -10s may be planned for FY25 but the chances of them turning up then is remote.

They held the report back. Now there are only 6 -8s to come. 8IB in November. Maybe.

VA flight status, and plug in the flight number and date.

Thanks very much, Stirling. A great tip.

Just following up on the Virgin website flight status details. It is using MLB which is Melbourne, Orlando in the US, with a departure time of 11:00 on 9/11/23 from BFI with an arrival time of 19:20 on the same day. With the 3 hour time difference 5 hour 20 minutes would be around the right flight time to Orlando, Florida.

Maybe, this is a Virgin entry glitch on their website but does anyone know why 8IB would possibly be going to MLB and not MEL?
