Virgin Atlantic continues US expansion with new Tampa service
Virgin Atlantic is boosting its transatlantic operations with a new direct Florida route
It will serve Tampa from London Heathrow, launching 3 November 2022.
The new year-round service will initially fly four times a week before increasing to daily from 28 November, complementing the airline’s up to four daily flying to Orlando and double daily flying to Miami.
Offering more than 190,000 seats each year, Virgin Atlantic will be the only airline to directly connect the Tampa Bay region with London’s hub airport.
Tampa has a catchment area of five million throughout the Tampa Bay and St Pete and Clearwater area.
Virgin Atlantic Holidays will boost its portfolio throughout the region offering a range of hotels and fly drive packages.
Juha Jarvinen, Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Atlantic said: “We are delighted to continue our expansion in the US offering even more choice for customers on both sides of the Atlantic.”
“Florida is very much a firm favourite for our customers ever since our first flight to Miami back in 1986.”
During 2022, the airline will take delivery of three A330neo aircraft, with up to 13 further aircraft to follow until 2026.
