Customers travelling between JFK and London Heathrow will benefit
from a memory schedule of regular evening departures from New York.
Virgin Atlantic is launching a second daily service between Heathrow
and Los Angeles, complemented by significant investment on the ground
with the first ever Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse in Los Angeles due to open
next month.
Combined with the Delta service launched in October 2014, the
partnership will offer three daily flights from London to the City of
Angels and expects to carry close to 400,000 annual passengers on the
route.
Also launching this weekend is a seasonal second daily Virgin
Atlantic service between Heathrow and Atlanta, and a second service
between Heathrow and San Francisco that will operate five days a week
over the summer.
The two airlines are maximising the benefits of their joint venture
partnership and increasing passenger choice by aligning schedules to
best meet customer demand.
This will see a transfer of operations that begins this weekend with
Delta flying one of the London Heathrow to Newark services previously
operated by Virgin Atlantic.
Meanwhile Sir Richard Branson’s airline will take over Delta’s
Manchester to Atlanta service offering 26 per cent extra seat capacity
on the popular route.
Further joint venture services are to be introduced later in the
summer including a new daily Delta service between London Heathrow and
Philadelphia, starting April 27th.
A new daily Delta service between Manchester and New York JFK
starting will also launch on May 22nd, while a new daily Virgin Atlantic
service between Heathrow and Detroit will start on June 1st.
Virgin Atlantic is resuming flights from London Gatwick to the
Caribbean island of Tobago from Sunday and will be offering a weekly
service during the summer and a twice weekly service in the winter.
Joe Thompson, director of network and alliances at Virgin Atlantic
said: “We’re very excited to offer this range of new services and
frequencies which are a further demonstration of how our joint venture
partnership is benefitting customers.
“Both Virgin Atlantic and Delta Air Lines put our customers at the heart of what we do.
“We are passionate about giving them the best flying experience possible and we look forward to welcoming passengers on board.”
This summer, Delta flights between London Heathrow and Boston, Los
Angeles and New York will operate from Heathrow’s Terminal 3 alongside
all Virgin Atlantic services.
Delta flights between Heathrow and Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis-St Paul, Philadelphia and Seattle will operate from Terminal 4.
