I can't see it going dusty and unused. The same goes for their club lounge, are there any plans for this to be reactivated for use by another airline?
I don't imagine any airlines will have plans right now in terms of taking over lounge space. In better times I would have guessed that someone like No1 might take it over. Equally VS could sell it as a buy-in option under a new airport lounge brand if they are stuck with the space. I know V-Room was only for Virgin Holidays customers, but is there any real reason why Virgin couldn't sell access to one, or both of these lounges. Swissport and No1 seem to do very well out of it - at least in the old world.
