A330's flying out of LGW

Noticed over the last 3 weeks or so that alot of LGW flights bound for Orlando and Jamaica are A330's compared to the normal 747-400, Just curious as to why this is? Im guessing its due to the new LGW refits that are taking place?

It's not due to the refits. The vs 27 to mco has been operating 4 times a week on an a330 for almost a year now.

And it is just returning to the fleet after a stint with Aerosur so its absence for the refit will not impact on current operations
