Virgin Atlantic will launch its first route to South America next year.

Sao Paulo is Brazil's commercial capital and major airline hub

The airline has announced daily flights between Heathrow and Sao Paulo.


Services will be operated by Boeing 787 aircraft featuring three cabins; Upper, Premium, and Virgin’s split economy classes – Delight, Classic and Light.


The new route, says Virgin, aims to capitalise on year-round demand for transatlantic flights to Sao Paulo, Brazil’s largest city and one of the world’s burgeoning commercial centres.


Virgin Holidays will launch a full product offering in Brazil for the first time too to complement the new flights.
