Virgin Atlantic adds back five routes to network in September

Virgin Atlantic is restoring flights to Atlanta, Lagos, Tel Aviv and the Indian cities of Delhi and Mumbai this month as the restructuring airline rebuilds its network amid coronavirus. The services add to its existing network of US destinations – New York JFK, Los Angeles and Miami – as well as Barbados, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The carrier resumed passenger services on 20 July following the coronavirus grounding. Virgin Atlantic CCO Juha Jarvinen says: “We’re continually reviewing our network and as countries begin to open up their borders, we’re introducing more and more flying. We’re incredibly excited to resume services to Delhi, Tel Aviv, Atlanta, Mumbai and Lagos this September as well as increasing the frequency to other destinations. We’re now offering daily flights to New York JFK and Los Angeles and twice weekly flights to Shanghai.” Cirium schedules data shows Virgin was operating to 10 US destinations in September 2019. <br/>
