Virgin Atlantic to launch international flights from Edinburgh
VIRGIN ATLANTIC has announced plans to begin flights direct to the Caribbean from December with plans for another new direct route to Orlando from Spring 2022. This will be the first time that the 37 year-old airline has flown international flights from
Scotland, and it will be the only direct flight from Scotland to the Caribbean. Gordon Dewar, Chief Executive of Edinburgh Airport, said: “A premier city like Edinburgh deserves premier airlines and we are extremely excited to welcome our newest partner
Virgin Atlantic to Scotland’s capital city.
“To be able to deliver flights to Barbados, Scotland’s only direct route to the Caribbean, and Orlando, is a fantastic boost to us as we prepare for the post-Covid recovery, and it is a huge show of confidence in
Edinburgh Airport’s ability to deliver for passengers across the country.
“We look forward to the new routes launching and watching passengers head off on the holiday of a lifetime from Edinburgh Airport with Virgin Atlantic.”
