Virgin Sun ceased trading post 9/11 but at the time the airline was making the money but the Holiday side was not profitable
First Choice / Air 2000 took the Virgin Sun part over but not allowed to use the name. First Choice took the Allocations in Resorts and Air 2000 took the RWY slots. 50% of cabin crew went to Air 2000 and remainder went to Mainline Virgin.
If RB had kept the Airline going as a charter airline that other Tour Operators use I believe it would still be flying. Most reports
from passenger flying on Virgin Sun were all positive.
There was no seperation from Virgin Atlantic / Virgin Sun. The ops / Crewing / Flt Planning / Engineering was all done by Virgin and kept under the one banner
LONG LIVE VIRGIN SUN
