FARNBOROUGH, England (Reuters) - Virgin Atlantic has ordered a further seven Airbus A330-900 planes, the airline said at the Farnborough Airshow on Tuesday.

The wide-body planes will be delivered from 2027 and cost a combined $807 million, according to estimated delivery prices from Cirium Ascend.

The order builds on Virgin Atlantic's initial A330neo order made in 2019 and takes the airline's total A330neo fleet to 19.

Reuters reported on Sunday that Virgin Atlantic was close to placing a top-up order for A330neos.
