Virgin Atlantic B747 - 400 G-VROM

Hi Guys just wondering I saw a picture of G-VROM on airliners.net tonight and it was taken in Amsterdam which clearly is not an Aerosur destination??? rumour has it she is back as her lease to Aerosur has finished finally! which signals her return to Virgin Atlantic? could this be true? wil VS accept her back in their fleet

140 days till VS043

The last rumour was that her sub-lease to Aerosur ended in April and that she was due a cabin re-config before returning to service.
Is your uncle hoping to fly her again?

Latest photo remarks CP-2603 (cn 32339/1275) Departure after maintenance at Amsterdam. She is leased from Virgin Atlantic (G-VROM), now on the way back to Madrid and Bolivia via runway 09
Perhaps Aerosur have extended the lease?

I understood that the a/c was for mx and then returned to Bolivia as you mention.

If it was coming back into the fleet, it would be a good candidate for the first refurb?

Happy 10th birthday to Barbarella! Just noticed the delivery date on my poster was 10 years ago today.

G-VROM or CP2603 is still flying for Aerosur, as of Yesterday.

Think she's due back around April

Got this off the online G-INFO database:

Open Aircraft Registration Cases

RESTORATION TO THE UK REGISTER 26/03/2012

Looks like she could well be the first refurb then?

I think i saw that was the plan.

Hi Good Evening Guys

Just Excited to see G-VROM all sprayed up in her new Virgin Dress.. its currently due to fly out to Hong Kong for its mega re-fit, can somebody pls confirm where this plane will be based from when it commences service again from London ? will it be a LHR aircraft or a LGW one? cheers

G-VROM will be part of the newly refurbished LGW/MAN fleet when it returns to service sometime in May (?)

Hi Luke is that 110% as people are saying its a new LHR bird?

cheers

It is 100% going to be part of the LGW/MAN fleet. This has been confirmed numerous times by Virgin and as it is being refitted and only the LGW 747's are being refitted then it is very clear.

Thanks Neil and Thanks Luke :-)
