Originally ordered for delivery to Sri Lankan Airlines as 4R-ALI, it instead went to Emirates as A6-EAC in Dec-00. After more than 10 years in service with Emirates it was returned to the lessor in Apr-11 and leased to Virgin Blue Airlines as VH-XFB. Just two weeks after delivery, on 01-May-11, Virgin Blue was renamed Virgin Australia Airlines. As of Jan-14, the aircraft continues in service.
