Just a minor correction chaps. Virgin Atlantic is not owned by Virgin Group. The CEO of Virgin Group Ltd is Peter Norris. He was in charge of the Southeast Asia division at Barings Bank when Nick Leeson took them down for over £800m.
Virgin Atlantic is owned 51% by Virgin Investments Ltd and 49% by Delta Airlines Inc. Richard Branson is listed as a Person of Significant Control, which means no person or company has recently purchased over 25% of the ordinary shares.
