The daily service from Heathrow to Sao Paulo was due to start on May 13 2024 but will now begin at an unspecified date in summer 2025. This is the second delay to the route launch, with Virgin having originally aimed for a 2020 start, which was then halted by the pandemic.
Juha Jarvinen, the airline’s chief commercial officer, said: “We regularly review our network to ensure it’s as strong and efficient as possible.
“Following a review of our upcoming flying programme for 2024, we will be moving the start of our highly anticipated Sao Paulo services to 2025.
