Who'd have thought 25 years ago that Virgin Atlantic would be the leading airline player it is today?
The inaugural flight, VS1 from Gatwick to Newark, New Jersey on 22nd June 1984, was a miracle in itself having been planned in just a few weeks.
Now, we use 38 aircraft to fly six million people a year to 30 destinations around the world.
Our 9,000 staff have built an airline that, after 25 years, is still red hot; an airline that focuses on being the best, not the biggest, and injects customer service and innovation into its daily philosophy.
We thank you for your support over our last 25 years and look forward to celebrating the next 25 with you on board soon.
