Hard to compete against CX on this route, with 4 flights against 1. Flight times into HKG weren't that great either if your final destination was HKG.

And with that nearly 50 people will be out of work I believe. A very sad day for those involved.

50 people for 1 aircraft a day? Seriously? Will they really be out of a job, or is it a contract company that will use these individuals elsewhere? |

46 was the figure one of their now-redundant engineers told me. It's not just the engineering staff, it's also the admin staff, check-in staff, customer service etc. They were a daily flight, so there'd have to be a reasonable number of people to cover the duty shifts, annual leave coverage etc. And for the engineers, they didn't just look after Virgin Atlantic, they also had contracts with at least Aerolineas Argentinas (also now gone).

Hi All,
Sad Day indeed - Pity they couldn't just transfer the flights down to YMML and ops via SIN, in light that there is no BA Service out of MEL. Was that the last A340 service or are there others? Stuart
