heathrow terminal 4
due to engine fan-blade corrosion issues with virgin's fleet of boeing 787 aircraft, virgin atlantic has chosen to move some of its manchester-based boeing 747 and airbus a330 aircraft to cover routes out of london heathrow. in 2016, a spokesman for rolls royce which manufacturers the trent 1000s said the company "would start producing new corrosion-resistant fan blades by the start of 2017". virgin atlantic has had to temporarily park some of its 787s while they wait for attention. in place of these aircraft virgin atlantic has chosen to lease four former air berlin a330-200 aircraft, which will be based in manchester. the a330-200 aircraft will arrive from 2018, with full virgin atlantic liveries, but with former air berlin cabin products, with virgin atlantic’s premium economy to be retrofitted at a later date. virgin atlantic said it would add "resilience" to its fleet after the engine issues with its 787s. it is thought these aircraft will be on initial 12 month leases, to allow virgin to assess their viability in the fleet, with the possibility of extending the leases further. the airline has also chosen to reinstate a former a340-600 aircraft g-vnap into the fleet from storage, after purchase from its lessor, to cover for one a340 aircraft leaving the fleet, for which the lease was unable to be extended.
