From March 25, Virgin Atlantic and Delta will offer eight daily flights on the New York-JFK and Heathrow route – six operated by Virgin and two by Delta.
Meanwhile at Manchester, Virgin Atlantic has announced its biggest ever season of flying.
Flights to both New York JFK and Atlanta have been upgraded and will now be operated by both the A330 and the Boeing 747, which has 455 seats and is the
largest aircraft in its fleet,
Virgin now flies to seven US and Caribbean destinations direct from Manchester, including new routes launched this year to San Francisco, Boston and New York.
