Speaking onboard the airline’s first A350 on a flight to New York JFK this week, Virgin Atlantic executive vice-president – operations Phil Maher said the new aircraft will be joined by two more by the end of the year.
He added while all three would initially be operated on the same route, plans are afoot to send them to other destinations in the summer of 2020.
Maher said: “It [Heathrow to New York JFK] is one of our most profitable routes.
“However, we’re always re-evaluating the route network. We’ll change the network next year.”
