I am supposed to be on a Virgin A350-1000 ATL-LHR on Wednesday. First time on a A35K. Booked this flight specifically for that reason. Does an incident have a downstream impact on other A35K flights? Does VS have a spare A35K? Hoping this is a quick repair so G-VDOT isn’t out for long. Is there anyw...
