Virgin Domestic
Sources have rumored that, In the interest of new working relations in LHR, BA will operating a code share agreement with VS on the LHR MAN route using one of the newly acquired ex BMI airbuses.
However there are already three Russian carriers operating to the UK, Aeroflot, Transaero and Rossiya. As these things are always kept very balanced with Russian bilaterals, if there are three from Russia there are likely to be three available from the UK.

Sorry - I meant London-Moscow is probably restricted to 2 airlines from each country not the wider UK-Russia market. Sadly the UK-Russia agreement isn't one of those posted on the foreign office website so I can't confirm that

Seems that the Govt admit to having done a up with the numbers on the West Coast rail franchise and Sir Beardy gets to resubmit a bid.
Assuming Sir Beardy submits and wins the train line bid, does this impact the likelihood of VS persisting beyond a year with a loss-making LHR-MAN air route as opposed to switching the slots to a long-haul route or Moscow (if VS win the MOW aspect of bmi's carcass) ?
My guess is that there's relatively little overlap between Heathrow and Euston passengers, so minimal impact, but would be interested to hear the thoughts of others...

Who wants to see a 63 year old billionaire in his pants?
Embarrasing IMHO
Weren't they cool once? Could someone have a word?

From a marketing standpoint my first thought was he was selling Viagra. Really.
Virgin is supposed to be young, trendy, innovative, cutting edge and SEXY.
Also, we don't all wear kilts either. Hoots mon, back to work.
