The first batch of 10 A330s ordered will not feature the carrier's premium product, Upper Class, although later deliveries will. The carrier will lease four of the A330s from lessor AerCap, and purchase the other six from Airbus. The carrier disclosed the agreement for the twin-jets in June 2009 after months of deliberation about an interim type to fill a capacity gap ahead of taking 15 Boeing 787-9s.
The British carrier is conducting a strategic review, which has attracted interest from a number of carriers, including British Airways who says it would like Virgin Atlantic's London Heathrow slots although not its brand. That won't bode well for Virgin, who is keen to retain its distinctive brand after the review.

Keith says of his photo: "The Vulcan was on late in the day, and as usual the weather was somewhat variable: dark cloud with longish periods of brightness. I liked the sun catching the Vulcan airframe as it turned into do a fast flyby."
