The final countdown is officially on, as Virgin Atlantic turns 40 this Saturday 22nd June. We’ve been celebrating with our wonderful customers throughout the month, but we’ve got a special promotion lined up for the big birthday weekend. More detail is in the press release below, which is under embargo until first thing tomorrow morning, (Friday 21 June) at 00:01.
Forty years ago, Virgin Atlantic was founded to shake up the airline industry, by offering customers choice and unique, personal experiences. The airline carried its first customers between London and New York offering something exciting and different and has continued to change the game ever since.
