Looking on the Manchester Airport site, looks like the VS076 from Orlando has been cancelled, and obviously making todays 75 flight cancelled too.

A330 having problems outbound to Orlando yesterday?

Its been a busy day, the VS76 had a problem in MCO last night. This meant the VS75 was cancelled today and we merged the PAX from VS75 onto the VS73. The aircraft is expected back from MCO tonight 2 330's and 1 744 will be arriving tommorow back into MAN. The other 330 was sent from LGW to bring back PAX.

Why was VS75 cancelled today (20 April 2011) ?

And anyone who is upset at the flight being delayed just need to Google DC10 "cargo door"

Well done to VS for dealing with this - but good job they had that "spare" at LGW.
Not sure how they will deal with similar problems next month... :w

Looks like VSXY is back on the Man-Mco route from today. Would VKSS go back to Gatwick to look into the problem?

From what i hear it was a door indication fault. Remember on an Airbus if the aircraft thinks that a door is open then it won't allow it to pressurize. By the way, as luck would have it the A330/340 cargo door has nothing in common with that of a DC10.
