Interestingly there appears to be no sign of any up for sale yet or lease, and there are a variety of competing aircraft including the Malaysia birds.

It seems that the lessor, Avation, has them advertised for lease on its website: http://www.avation.net/aircraft_available.html.
As for the Malaysian aircraft, six are headed to Nam Air in Indonesia, so not sure if there are any more than that heading out of the Firefly/MASWings fleet. In any case, there seems to be strong demand for ATRs in India with their new regional connectivity scheme, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to see some of the ex-Virgin birds go there. |

VH-YFY delivered, maybe there's another on the way, I met a pilot who said he's delivering one from Seattle in August.
