Virgin increases service to Cancun
Virgin Atlantic has announced it is increasing services to Cancun just a few months after the route was launched.
The airline says international visitors to Mexico have increased over the past few years with 2011 proving to be a record year with over 23 million international travellers.
That is an increase of 2% on 2010 and nearly 6% up on 2009.
The twice weekly service from London Gatwick launched in June will increase to three times a week from April 2013.
Edmond Rose, Virgin Atlantic’s director of Commercial and Revenue Planning said, "Cancun is performing extremely well for us and in fact, is one of our most successful launches ever.
"Transatlantic routes have always been at the core of Virgin Atlantic’s business and we are delighted to be able to show our commitment to Mexico and add the extra service."
The airline will also launch a daily flights from London Heathrow to Mumbai from 28 October.
