I think Miss Heaney will be the first of the remaining 346 to leave the fleet. She's not in very good condition at all and with just a few weeks before 2 x 351 enter service, she's probably on standby should there be any unforeseen delays with the new metal.

She's been purchased by European Aviation (the company that bought Etihad's entire fleet of A340-600s), so there's a chance she may fly again

Thanks for the info. I guess we'll see what happens to her

She has a new home now in Nigeria.

Economy has been left as it was with Virgin, but PE and UC have been replaced with economy seats, with 2, yes just 2, business class seats stuck on the middle of the front row. All very odd!

Not the most comprehensive re-livery ever seen too!

Nice to see she has got a new home rather than just heading to the chopping block.
