The new service marks the first time Virgin Atlantic has flown international flights from the Scottish capital in its 37-year history and is Scotland’s only direct flight to the Caribbean.
Juha Jarvinen, the airline’s chief commercial officer, said: “Commencing international flights from Edinburgh marks an exciting new chapter for Virgin Atlantic and we couldn’t be happier to be flying from a new home in Scotland.
"I know our teams have been itching to show Edinburgh the Virgin Atlantic spirit and flair we’re famous for.”
