THE A340-600 came late at 6:45 PM today, It was the first flight for the VS -600 to Miami. It was received by water trucks although its not the first time an A340-600 comes to Miami, Iberia brings it lately during the night.
It is expected for VS to operate the A340-600 to Miami.

The registration was G-VSHY and it did indeed arrive in MIA late, It landed into LHR late too, flew straight over my head this morning Big thumbs up

. Can't remember what time it was (no watch) but it certainly wasn't 07:55 when it usually arrives.

I saw it landing, by the chance I was driving near the airport, twice the surprise, First the Virgin flight from London was really late, second it was a A-340-600!!!! I flew the Iberia one from MIA to MAD a couple of months ago, great bird to fly with!!!

I was planning to photograph it, but infortunatley, there is not enough light at that time. Also, I am planning a summer trip to England....is VS expected to use the A346 in the summertime? If so, that is the carrier I am selecting...

VS are currently flying the A340-600s to just Washington (in the USA) on a regular basis. Not quite sure whether Miami is now a A346 regular or it was just a one off, but the delay on it would tell me that it would be a one off because there may have been a fault with the aircraft that was to fly it.

I can't remember off the top of my head but I think the 600's are supposed to be scheduled on some mid-week services from about May onwards? The w/e flts will still be 744. It was probably a tech 343 that meant a 346 was substituted, but i'm not at work so i can't check.

The 600's are also doing some New York flts, but again I can't check it and it changes so often that if the info is more than a week old then it's probably wrong anyway!!

Cheers

I was down at MIA when it landed and as Ryan said it was too dark for a good shot. I had my camera with me and took this picture for the hell of it. For anyone interested here it is.

G-VSHY landing rwy 9R approx 18:40 on March 19, 2004.

Hey guys! I am so exited to know that VS is doing 600 to MIA. I took one of the ex Alitalia 747 to Gatwick two years ago. I hope that maybe VS will resume their twice daily to Miami...

Ok I've checked: the 346 on 19th operated instead of a 744 due to an a/c having to be sent to MAN to cover for a Classic on the VS75 MAN-MCO service.

Planned 346 services to MIA are currently due to begin on 4th May. Tue/Wed/Thur flts will be 346, the rest will be 744.

Cheers
