Virgin Blue delayed the delivery of two 361-seat 777-300ERs for its V Australia operation because of the slowdown in air travel. The fifth and sixth -300ERs have been rescheduled from 2010 to 2011 and 2012. In a statement to the Australian Stock Exchange, Blue said it still planned to take the "seventh" 777 in the second half of 2010. V Australia has three 777-300ERs in service operating from Brisbane and Sydney to Los Angeles and it expects to start Sydney-Perth-Johannesburg service this year.
