Rather than farm out work to airlines their passengers had never heard of (BA, erm.. Air Belgium anyone? 🙄 ), the management proactively secured leases on four A330-200s, that comes at a cost, but ensures the product is worth the price for the customer.
VS net promoter scores continue to rise as investment is made into the product. Can the same be said for BA at the moment? Virgin's USP is the crew first and foremost, and the onboard experience. But I'm probably saying this to someone who only ever flies Ryanair 🙄
A loss is a loss end of story, it means business has to conitinue borrowing to stay where it is.
As for snide cheap shot, have flown T/A on all operators going back to Pan Am and TWA, Virgin is tired and what was once innovative is now no better than what anybody else is offering. The difference is that others making money.
