Why is Virgin Australia storing two 738's at Melbourne base
Informatiom has being handed over too the media as well as TV networks in Australia about two new Boeing 737-800's which Virgin Australia have being stored taped up and left there for ten weeks. VH-VUM has being sitting idle at the back of the hanger out of the public eye. Recently the sister ship VH-VUN has also being stored. Why?. Virgin won't say. But apparently the leasing company has something to do with this. (australianaviation.com.au) More...

VH-VUM and VH-VUN are not new planes they 2007 models owned by CIT leasing and are probally going of Virgins books as new owned planes arrive
Are they owned sold waiting for new owners or leased going back to the lessor?

I think you need to wake up to yourself. Firstly this is a SQUAWK area not a discussion area. If you want to comment or make rude suggestions go to the discussion forum. Also who are you to comment. Your past posts aren't perfect and some don't make sense. You obviously are bored with nothing better to do in life. Try and get one. I got the link up easy. As for these two aircraft they belong to another company and have being stored due to the airline Virgin Australia not needing them. If you get your brain to work efficiently you can go to the web site to read all.
I presume it maybe they have too many B738's and they need to ground a few. I could be wrong but I don't think the finance company wants them back. Sir Richard Branson would not let that happen. He wanted to buy the Concordes for a $1.
Why would anybody care?
