@globetrotter154 @VirginAtlantic to lease 4 A330-200 to run the @manairport operation from March 1st 2018. Ex Air Berlin aircraft to be used, and retrofitted to VS standards later in 2018 @MaslenAviation.
@Icelandair @ryankirkpatric4 We have regretfully decided to suspend the Birmingham route. We are shifting our focus in the UK/Ireland market. We will begin a Dublin service from May 2018; our capacity on current gateways will increase from 36 to 44 weekly flights.
