Growing Pains Virgin delays superjumbo arrivals Virgin Atlantic has pushed its plans to take delivery of the new Airbus superjumbo back by a year. The airline says it will not now take delivery of the first six Airbus A380 planes until 2007. Virgin had planned to have the 550-seat planes, which cost $250m (£150.3m) each, in service by the summer of 2006. It blamed airports for being slow to make changes to prepare for the giant aircraft - which has a wingspan of 80 metres - particularly Los Angeles. 9:35:57 PM    comment []
