Virgin Atlantic has confirmed that will cut another 1,150 jobs as the airline struggles to cope with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Virgin Atlantic said it welcomed the CAA's decision

The latest blow to the airline’s staff comes after the company received high court clearance for its £1.2 billion restructuring plan earlier this week. Virgin Atlantic’s refinancing has now been completed as the carrier focuses on becoming "a sustainably profitable airline".
