The new flights will see Delta return to Gatwick for the first time in eight years after it shifted its entire operation to Heathrow. The airport was the destination for Delta’s first transatlantic flight more than 40 years ago, when services began from Atlanta.
Juha Jarvinen, Virgin’s executive vice president commercial, said: “Virgin Atlantic is pleased to announce that we’re expanding at London Gatwick, with the addition of new routes to New York-JFK and Boston operated in partnership with Delta.
