- they are introducing an extra plane around this time (the launch was 30th August and they said end of September) to initially be on 'stand-by' for issues with existing fleet (though i suspect they'll eventually use it to increase number of flights to certain locations as cant imagine them being able to afford 'luxury' of spare plane sitting around)
I don't see how one plane would give them enough back-up to matter --"enough" to justify the expense -- to really be "backed-up" they would need three planes -- In the US, one on the West coast, one on the East Coast; and one in London. If they really are acquiring another plane, my hunch is that you're right -- it will be primarily to up capacity, or possibly to add anothe route?
