Virgin Atlantic Accelerates A330-300 Retirements As SAS Takes On Its Oldest Widebodies

Virgin Atlantic is pulling its remaining Airbus A330-300 aircraft from service ahead of the original timetable, with most of the airframes bound for Scandinavian carrier SAS. The British operator will remove the type earlier than planned, with five units set to depart, in a transfer that follows a separate arrangement sending two Boeing 787-9s to LOT Polish Airlines in 2027.
