Virgin Atlantic touches down in Tampa Bay

Monday, 03 Nov, 2022 0

Virgin Atlantic’s inaugural flight touched down in Tampa Bay, marking a new destination on its transatlantic route map.

Passengers were joined by Sir Richard Branson on the flight, which was greeted by the Mayor of Tampa Jane Castor and CEO of Tampa Airport Joe Lopano.

The new Airbus A330neo year-round service will initially fly four times a week before increasing to daily from 28 November, complementing the airline’s flights to Miami and Orlando.

This latest addition follows the airline’s launch of direct flights between London and Austin in May 2022.

The airline’s expanded joint venture with Delta Air Lines and Air France-KLM means customers across the US and Europe will be able to connect onto the new service via Heathrow.

Santiago C. Corrada, President and CEO of Visit Tampa Bay said; “Virgin Atlantic is the perfect partner not only for its high quality and fun product offering but they also share our focus on diversity and inclusion. We are looking forward to welcoming even more international travellers from across the UK and Europe.”

“Tampa Bay is a premiere destination and we are excited about the opportunities the new service will bring.”
