Virgin Atlantic set to join SkyTeam
Virgin Atlantic is joining the SkyTeam alliance in early 2023.
It will become SkyTeam’s first and only UK member airline.
It gives Virgin Atlantic customers a consistent customer experience, across 1,000+ global destinations.
It increases opportunities to earn and redeem points across member airlines and access to a network of 750+ airport lounges.
The airline’s Flying Club members enjoy benefits from the day of joining.
Virgin Atlantic entry into the alliance builds upon its transatlantic joint venture partnership with Delta Air Lines and Air France-KLM, each already long established SkyTeam members.
The four partners are co-located at London Heathrow’s Terminal Three, alongside existing SkyTeam members Aeromexico and China Eastern.
Shai Weiss, CEO Virgin Atlantic, said: “Joining SkyTeam is an important milestone. Our membership will allow us to enhance established relationships with our valued partners at Delta and Air France-KLM, as well as opening up opportunities to collaborate with new airlines.”
Codeshare agreements are already in place with Aeromexico and Middle East Airlines with options for more codeshares to follow.
Interline agreements with all SkyTeam members are in place.
Virgin Atlantic flies to 12 destinations throughout the US in partnership with Delta and Air France-KLM including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco.
The airline operates an extensive Caribbean portfolio including Antigua, Barbados, Jamaica, and The Bahamas.
It also operates services to Greater China, India, Israel, Nigeria, Pakistan, and South Africa.
