Major changes at Virgin Atlantic announced today.
LHR-BOM/CPT/YVR and NRT cut.
But:
VS to take over MAN-ATL from Delta (confirmed), and very distinct possibility of MAN-JFK (not confirmed yet). 2xbased B747 2xbased A330-200 for Summer 2015.
Honestly didn't see that one coming! Hopefully this could see a new direction for Virgin where Manchester is not see solely as a leisure B747 base.
It will be sad to see Delta leave Manchester, but, I wonder if this frees up a frame for the long rumoured Detroit flights?
