Virgin Atlantic is to add new flights to the Caribbean including the airline’s first international route from Edinburgh.

Virgin Atlantic said it welcomed the CAA's decision

The carrier will introduce twice-weekly flights from Edinburgh to Barbados from 5 December, which will become Scotland’s only direct service to the Caribbean. The airline will also fly twice weekly to Orlando in Florida from April 2022. 

Virgin Atlantic will also be launching three flights per week from Manchester to Montego Bay in Jamaica from 6 November, while the airline returns to St Lucia with three weekly flights from Heathrow starting on 18 December.

The Edinburgh-Barbados route will be the first time Virgin Atlantic has flown international flights from the Scottish capital in the carrier’s 37-year history.
