They went bust so it's fair to ask if this high volume / low cost traffic would be picked up by anyone else currently in market. This may remain the case until Norse Atlantic have a go.
btw I make the high point of Virgin Atlantic as Summer 2019 with 35 flights per week with up to 6 aircraft rotations :
VS074 MCO x 2
VS076 MCO x 7
VS078 BGI x 2
VS086 LAS x 4
VS110 ATL x 7
VS122 BOS x 3
VS128 JFK x 7
VS182 LAX x 3 (replaced SFO)
With ISB and UVF both having been tried and dropped historically.
This winter only saw 3 based frames with 21 flights to ATL/JFK/MCO and BGI.
There are 5 more A350s and 11 more A339s to come but I am not 100% sure how many of the A333s are going back at end of lease so not all net growth.
