V-Flyer

Oops, naughty me for copying & pasting.

Anyway, they've halved their annual losses to £51m, still expect to be in profit by the end of the year and carried nearly 6.2m passengers last year.

Don't have a login for WSJ, what are they saying about Dreamliners as they don't have any yet do they ?

Not yet, the first one's due to enter revenue service in Oct on the BOS route.

Craig Kreeger says they may exercise their option to buy more in the "near term".

Do we have a sense of how confident VS are about the October BOS entry into service? I've been looking to see if the aircraft type is loaded in the booking system, but I can't see anything yet.

Losses down. Passenger numbers up. Revenue per k/m up.

While not the recovery to profit we'd like to see, it is at least a sign the corner has been turned.

I doubt MMB will show anything outside the current fleet until the 787 actually arrives and goes into service. Just in case Boeing have any delays in delivering, fitting, paining etc. Will also stop complaints of "I only booked because it showed a 787. but we got an A330..."

How confident are VS that they will have these aircraft for October. Even Air NewZealand who are the launch customer aren't flying until mid October the the production list below doesn't even feature VS

When was that list updated last?

It shows that last delivery as the 23/4/14 so I think they keep up to date.i know that BA were expecting two 787/8 this month but they haven't been delivered as yet and also the A380 are running behind

the sooner they blow out the 330's the happier this paying customer will be, flown them a couple of times and i avoid them like the plague these days.

You're going to have a long wait or limited route choices. The 330's are here to stay.
