Re: Virgin Atlantic News and Discussion Thread - 2022
Is VS allowed to carry passengers from India to the US? India has travel bubble agreements with various countries for carrying passengers between the two countries but not clear if connections to the US are allowed.
KL and AF are allowed to carry passengers to the US if they have a DL codeshare, but not sure if VS can do it.
Anybody knows if VS can do the same?

Considering they just had £400m injected in them to shore up finances for the winter, pretty likely they expect large losses. Even a strong summer 2022, unlikely to wipe away the mounting red ink incurred now during the winter.

Small correction: the 12 other markets are in Brazil as well, the agreement does not cover any other markets in South America other than Brazil.
Re: Virgin Atlantic News and Discussion Thread - 2022
Makes some sense to promote agreements among “Delta partners”
Which lounge do LatAm passengers use at LHR-T3 since they dropped oneworld? Because this makes the perfect opportunity sign an agreement for ClubHouse access

Unless it has changed over the past few weeks, LATAM clients continue to use the BA T3 lounge. And they continue to use Iberia's lounges at Madrid.

He interpreted ”beyond Brazil markets” as not in Brazil bc they are beyond (a reasonable interpretation).

Did not mean to offend you. I interpreted "12 beyond Brazil markets" as literally beyond Brazil. Perhaps a Sao Paulo in between beyond and Brazil would have helped (as in "12 beyond Sao Paulo Brazil markets").

Better than VS trying to launch basket-case South American routes of their own…
Re: Virgin Atlantic News and Discussion Thread - 2022
…speaking of ambitious route launches, looks like BGI-EDI schedule has been curtailed and to stop in a few weeks. Will be interesting to see if they reattempt next winter in better weather. Still think premium heavy A330 too much for that sort of regional route

They reckon they will be back in profit by 2023. This year will be a 'transition year' where losses will be 'narrowed significantly.'
Demand is strong and they have removed over £300m of costs since September 2020 after their capital injection.

This might of been talked about before, if so please forgive me.
on 24th Apr Virgin operated VS615 MAN to CPT. Was this a charter? If so do we know who for and is there a return scheduled?
Thanks
