It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more Airplane Art.
This week, we have a Virgin Atlantic Airbus A330-300 being towed at its home base of London Heathrow Airport, as it is taken from Terminal 3 to its maintenance base.
Virgin Atlantic operates a fleet of 10 Airbus A330-300 aircraft in its long haul fleet. The airline also operates the Airbus A350-1000 and Boeing 787-9 to support the operation.
The airline has the new generation Airbus A330-900neo on order, with 14 of the type on order, with six further options if needed.
This aircraft – G-VRAY is named “Miss Sunshine”. The aircraft joined the Virgin Atlantic fleet in March 2012, making this aircraft just over 10 years old. Due to the downturn in traffic, it was stored between May 2020 to October 2021. Miss Sunshine has been busy since its return to flight, flying out of both Manchester Airport and Heathrow Airport to Islamabad, New York JFK and Tel Aviv.
